Report: Patriots Signing DT DaQuan Jones to 1-Year Deal
The 12-year veteran is set to add interior pass rush and run defense after starting all 51 regular-season games over four seasons in Buffalo.
- On Friday, the New England Patriots agreed to sign veteran defensive tackle DaQuan Jones to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
- Addressing defensive line depth became a priority following New England's season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday. The team relies on Milton Williams, Cory Durden, and Christian Barmore as starters.
- Jones previously played for Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel with the Tennessee Titans from 2018 to 2020. This prior relationship should facilitate a smooth transition for the 34-year-old defender.
- Adding the accomplished defensive tackle provides the team with a veteran who can rotate players and allow starters necessary breathers. His presence strengthens the interior defensive line after the recent defeat.
- New England hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 20 in Foxborough, Mass. before facing Jones' former team, the Buffalo Bills, on October 4. The defensive lineman will likely see action during this stretch.
