Marcus Jones News: Nets three-year extension

The Patriots signed Jones to a three-year contract extension Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Jones' deal contains $36 million in new money and ties him to New England through the 2028 season. A first-team All-Pro selection as a punt returner in 2022, Jones has continued to shine on special teams this season, most notably returning a punt 87 yards for a touchdown in a Week 4 win over the Panthers. However, it's on the defensive end where Jones has emerged as an indispensable piece in 2025 after having previously worked in more of a part-time role in the secondary. Through eight games, Jones has excelled as New England's top slot corner, amassing 36 tackles, nine pass breakups, two interceptions and a sack.
