2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones is joining the Commanders for his age-32 season after starting 71 of his 132 regular-season games in New England over the past nine years. He made 44 of those starts over the past three years, but he hasn't intercepted a pass since 2022 and finished both of the past two seasons with single-digit pass defenses and fewer than 60 tackles. Jones figures to compete for the nickelback job in Washington. Read Past Outlooks

IDP
Signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Commanders in March of 2025.
Strong production in 2025
Jones recorded 41 total tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed over 12 games during the 2025 regular season.
ANALYSIS
Jones signed with the Commanders in the offseason after spending the first nine seasons of his career in New England. The cornerback missed four contests in late September and early October with a hamstring injury, but once healthy, he put together a rather productive campaign. Jones was able to secure at least 41 tackles for the fourth straight year and eighth time overall, while his sack of Tua Tagovailoa in Week 11 was his first sack since 2018. The 32-year-old is set to enter the offseason as a free agent, but considering his long track record of strong production, he'll likely have plenty of interested suitors ahead of the 2026 season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Jones, who's been with the Patriots since 2016, racked up 48 tackles and seven pass breakups across 14 appearances with the team in 2023. This coming season, the 30-year-old will reprise his key role in a cornerback group that also features Christian Gonzalez and Marcus Jones. In order to find his way back onto the IDP radar, however, the Auburn product will need to regain the ball-hawking ability he displayed in 2022, when he logged four picks.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Remains in New England's plans
Other teams inquired about Jones' availability at the trade deadline, but the Patriots declined to trade him, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots have made an effort to get younger on the defensive side of the ball, trading away veteran Josh Uche while also parting ways with Raekwon McMillan. Jones would have been a natural fit to also be on his way out, as he's in his age-31 season and on the final year of his current contract. The cornerback says he received assurances he remains in the team's plans however, so perhaps a contract extension is in the works.
