Edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones agrees to 3-year, $39.5 million deal with Patriots, AP sources say

By The Associated Press

The New England Patriots are addressing one of their top defensive priorities this offseason, agreeing to a deal with edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones.

It is a three-year, $39.5 million deal, two people told The Associated Press. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity because the contract hasn’t been finalized.

The 29-year-old is entering his eighth NFL season. This will be his fifth team. He spent the first nine games of last season with the Tennessee Titans before being traded to the Baltimore Ravens, where he also played in nine games.

He finished the season with a combined seven sacks, a career high.

Jones will now look to add some depth to a New England pass rush that finished in the bottom third with 35 total sacks.

Hendrickson reached a four-year, $112 million deal with the Ravens on Wednesday. The official announcement is often a formality but took on added significance after Baltimore backed out of a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders that would have sent pass rusher Maxx Crosby to the Ravens.
