The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the length of the extension is three years per multiple sources. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, the total dollar figure for the extension is $36 million."
"Voted a team captain, Jones is a multifaceted contributor to the Patriots. He has played on defense primarily as a slot cornerback. He is also a key contributor on special teams, where Jones leads all NFL players in yards per punt return ( 21.6 yards per return). His signature moment came in the Week 4 rout of the Panthers, when Jones took a winding punt return 87 yards back for a touchdown."
"Originally drafted by Bill Belichick as a third round pick in 2022, Jones has - appropriately, given the coach who selected him- contributed for the Patriots in all phases of the game. As a rookie, he was used on offense ( scoring a touchdown against the Bills) and special teams (returning a punt for a touchdown to win the game against the Jets). Jones, 27, was in the final year of his rookie contract, and was set to become an unrestricted free agent."
