"Jones, 29, comes to the Patriots from Baltimore where he spent the second half of last season after being acquired from the Titans in exchange for a fifth-round pick. He posted a career-high seven sacks last season, with 43 total tackles. Jones was a third-round pick in 2019. The Patriots will be his fifth team in eight years."
"He had 24 QB hits last season. Harold Landry led the Patriots in 2025 with 19. Landry had a strong start last season, but his production dropped off in the second half while he was hampered with a knee injury."
"The pass-rush, as a whole, was a bit of an issue in 2025. The Patriots finished 26th in sacks [35] last season. They were also 26th in pressures [121]. Jones brings a veteran presence and solid size [6-foot-3, 281 pounds] to the edge for the Patriots."
The New England Patriots signed edge rusher Dre'Mont Jones to a three-year contract worth up to $39.5 million. The 29-year-old comes from Baltimore after spending the second half of last season there following an acquisition from Tennessee. Jones recorded a career-high seven sacks and 43 tackles last season, with 24 QB hits—more than any Patriots defender. He brings 37.5 career sacks across eight years with five teams, primarily the Denver Broncos. Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 281 pounds, Jones plays primarily outside but can line up inside. The Patriots' pass rush ranked 26th in both sacks and pressures last season, making Jones a veteran addition to strengthen their defensive line alongside existing players like Harold Landry and K'Lavon Chaisson.
