Instant Reaction: #Patriots expected to re-sign Jonathan Jones

Oh, baby! Ian Rappaport, here's the tweet. Sources, Colin. The Patriots are expected. Come on. Wait. Oh, you're reading it. To re-sign standout corner, Jonathan Jones, he gets a two year deal.

So Rapsheet, Patriots expected to re-sign Jonathan Jones. He gets a two year deal. So now some of the pieces start to come together. You and I touched on earlier, foyer, when Devon McCordy is out. Do you move Jaylen Mills back? If you are going to do that, you need Jonathan Jones. All right. So he's in.

Two years, only two years, huh? Did he get a bigger commitment from that? It doesn't. Well, here's the thing. Two years. Isn't he 29? I know, but still. He's at that point where it's like, what are they? He didn't want to test for agency then, I guess. I mean, or legal tampering. There was no real signs.

Well, see, that's the thing is that it makes you wonder how much he sniffed around and found out that the market was a little tepid for. Again, I do believe he's 29 years old. I could be wrong about that. Let me do the old quick Google search there. Yeah. 29 year old guy. I mean, who's who's signing up to throw five years and 75 million at a 29 year old corner who's a nice player, nice player.

He's in a great player. It's a nice player. Hmm. And he fits in here and he does a good job. Now, John Jones made or Jonathan Jones made seven million. I think it was in hard salary last year. So you got to figure it's probably in that neighborhood.

You know, they'll funny money. The first part of it just to kind of sort of move the number around a little bit, but it feels like that would be about right. Yeah. No, okay. That's fine. Okay. So look, look, that's it's nothing crazy.

It's nothing. No one's going to like yell at no one's going to be like, oh, you know, who won the deal? No, it's about right. The two year deal. There's no real long term commitment. It's not like any of these other deals. These, you know, these John O's Smiths of the world, like, uh, you know, who we can sit during debate and how bad that was for the, for the next, I mean, cause John, John John O's Smith will be listed as one of the worst Bill Belichick signings, you know, to come for a long period of time. Oh, John O is that that is okay.

Just quickly. Um, John O Smith or Daelus Thomas, worst signing. Well, boy, in the end, it's probably a dailies, a dailies. It's funny. I've seen a lot of people tweet out like worst picks. Antonio Antonio Brown is another one that comes up because you know what? Like one, like two plays like, like for like a week, but that was trying to play K Tom Brady. So there shouldn't be a Patriot fan on earth.

The bitch is about that one because everybody was screaming at that time. Oh, I got to get people for Brady, get people for Brady. They get people for Brady. They just happened to sign a knucklehead who imploded in, in a big way. Wow. The worst ones. I mean, John O Smith is probably my number one.

Based on what he gave you, I mean, he had one touchdown in this two years. So he had, uh, he signed a four year, $50 million contract. 31 of it was guaranteed. And you got for that 55 catches, 539 yards in one touchdown. That's, that's like not even a pro bowl. Yeah. You're not even getting to the pro bowl with those numbers.

Like you're not even a, I mean, we probably have two of the five worst signings in the whole Bella check run in mentioning Smith and Adelaide Thomas together. They're in the top five and not maybe the top three. We'd have to go back hard and think about, okay, was there ever this big a whiff where you brought in a guy and it was a bad fit or couldn't play or whatever. Those, those two take the cake. And you know, I'll be some of three seven, 93 seven, it'll be sending them. You know why, uh, Smith is worse because at least Adelaide Thomas was balling out. Like he was already established.

He was a stud. Yeah, he was. He was like Matt Judon where Matt was in his career. Smith was like propped up as like the second coming and this guy's great and nobody's better than this. And he can run from the backfield and look at them. He's playing tailback, not a faster guy on the field with his ball in the hands. Like, I mean, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Jenny from the six, oh three said, oh, Joe Stinko, and that's a pretty bad one. Yeah. But he was one year. You didn't devote a ton of money to him. Like you locked into the John and Smith for four years. That's true. There's no doubt.

Then Adelaide was multi year. You really committed to John and Smith. Uh, oh, Joe Stinko was fricking like really one year. Yeah. It was a ton of other weapons. You were just adding to the depth. He was, he was never going to be the guy.

I mean, oh, Joe Stinko himself talks about how many guys were in front of him when it came to getting the ball. Six, one, seven, seven, seven, seven, nine, seven, 93, seven will continue to unpack everything going on around the Patriots.
