Patriots Closing In On Extension For CB Jonathan Jones - Update: Signed

My bad, I had it at a total of $30M, perhaps more with some of the incentives.
BB got Jones for $21M plus incentives which could get him to $25M.

AWESOME!

As someone posted, next year Jackson!

So 4y/24 in all. A normal BB deal that is good and sensible for both.

Seems reasonable. I guess I was thinking he’d be gone for 11-12M per year. Having said that : nice payday for UDFA. I like JJ a lot.

This is essentially the deal that Butler felt insulted by.

Great deal, happy for him and the team.

One of the most underrated players on this team. Glad we have him looked up now.

Certainly less than $10 million per year.

.

J Jones will be 28/29 when this deal is up and can sign one more big deal. I think it is wise for him to stay in the Pats system, improve his technique/understanding, and, if he is the type that wants to set the market, he can do that with his next deal. Very safe and wise career decision by him IMO. And saves the Pats a little dough compared to other teams. Based on drafting a CB in the early rounds every year, and trying to sign CBs early, it appears that BB highly values the secondary. McCourty twins, Gilmore, Chung and Jackson are not leaving soon (maybe retiring or being suspended for cocaine use ), and Obi and Williams are up and coming. Since Webster did not pass through the waiver wire, Crossen and Dawson would not have made it through, so we got some low level picks for them. I assume we will draft a safety next year. Seems like the secondary is all set for awhile.

Isn’t stability nice!

Excellent work by bb to lock this young veteran up. We could potentially lose 2 McCourtys and a Chung this off season.

Glad to see this.. such a valuable player and one of the leagues best slot dbs

But he was supposed to get traded....

That because we all knew he has great value

Great signing - good value for the team based on how slot corners got paid last year, and gives Jones long term security in exchange for not maxing out his potential earnings in free agency.

When you got a feeling you got a feeling.

Great signing.

Between JC, Gilmore and now Jones we got a good core of CBs for the next 3 years
