2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones, a 2022 third-rounder, is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he racked up 58 tackles and a pick in 14 games. In his fourth year as a pro, the 26-year-old is in line to handle slot corner duties for the Patriots while also offering utility as a punt returner. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Patriots in October of 2025.
Nets three-year extension
The Patriots signed Jones to a three-year contract extension Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely nickel corner in 2023
Zack Cox of NESN.com views Jones as the favorite to operate as New England's slot cornerback in his second NFL season.
ANALYSIS
Jones was an All-Pro punt returner in his rookie season, though his biggest play was aided by an uncalled block in the back. The versatile cornerback also moonlighted as an offensive player in 2022 but filled a depth role on defense. Cox believes Jones is ready for a more prominent role in New England's secondary in his second NFL season.
