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 his first three seasons in the league. Through eight games, Jones has excelled as New England's top slot corner, amassing 36 tackles, nine pass breakups, two interceptions and a sack.
