However that is some actually, actually severe stuff. Understanding the tenor of the frustration at Gillette Stadium over this, simply put all of it collectively and studying the writing on the wall, they might transfer on from him manner sooner than the beginning of the season.”
Jones performed in 13 video games as a rookie final season and got here into minicamp anticipated to compete for a beginning spot at cornerback. Now, it’s unclear whether or not he’ll return to the Patriots as his authorized case performs out.
