3 Patriots Most Likely to Be Traded by the 2024 Deadline
By Jovan Alford
3. Jonathan Jones, CB
The 31-year-old cornerback hasn’t seen his name pop up in trade rumors often, but he could be a logical candidate for the Patriots to move ahead of the Nov. 5 deadline.
Jones is entering the final year of a two-year, $19 million deal he signed in Mar. 2023. The vet is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
Heading into Week 8, the 5-foot-9 defensive back has recorded 27 combined tackles, three pass deflections, and a forced fumble. Jones hasn’t been a shutdown corner in pass coverage this season but still could be valuable for a contender looking for secondary help.
The veteran cornerback has a 69.6 completion percentage allowed on targets (career-worst) and a 114.4 pass rating allowed when targeted (career-worst). But Jones has only given up one receiving touchdown this season.
Teams such as the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Chargers could be ideal trading partners with the Patriots for Jones.
