Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as an excellent deal for the New England Patriots — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Dre’Mont's on-field performance ranks in the upper half among NFL LBs, grading him as a solid starter at the position. His $12.7M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the LB market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting solid starter production at bargain cost, which is the kind of financial efficiency that builds roster depth. Dre’Mont is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 3-year, $38.0M contract represents a significant commitment with heavy guarantees.

Performance Analysis

Dre'Mont Jones earns a D- for the Patriots at linebacker, a veteran whose production has declined sharply since his productive years in Denver. Jones was once a quality pass rusher who could generate pressure from the interior, but that ability has eroded significantly. His time in New England has been defined by inconsistency and declining effort. The Patriots expected a veteran contributor, and Jones has not delivered on that expectation. His career is in a downward spiral, and the production does not justify continued investment.

Fan Sentiment

The Patriots land a legitimate edge rusher who reportedly had a career season in 2025, a quality starter-level add. Multiple headlines confirm Jones is engaged and motivated, referencing his jersey number choice and unusual offseason regimen. The strongest signal is Jones himself crediting specific reasons for his career year, suggesting real development rather than a fluke. Fans are buzzing about Jones facing Drake Maye in practice, previewing an intriguing camp storyline. If Jones replicates that career form, New England gets above-average pass-rush value that could fuel a playoff push.
