The New England Patriots are scrambling for defensive line help, and it is all thanks to a tough 13-10 loss they suffered against our Seattle Seahawks just this past Wednesday. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reports the Patriots are expected to sign defensive lineman DaQuan Jones as they desperately try to avoid an 0-2 start to their season.
Jones Joins the Mix After Seahawks Victory
Jones is reportedly signing a one year deal, with a base salary of $3.5 million that could reach a maximum value of $6 million. Our division rivals, the Bills, knew Jones well. He spent the last four seasons in Buffalo, starting all 51 regular season games he played. During that time, he racked up 99 tackles, 10 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. He also contributed 13 tackles over eight playoff appearances. Clearly, they’re hoping he brings some much needed juice to a defense that couldn’t stop our boys on Wednesday.
What Our Win Meant For Their Defensive Line
That 13-10 win for the Emerald City really lit a fire under the Patriots, didn’t it? In that game, Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, and Cory Durden got the most snaps on their defensive line. It looks like their performance against our Seahawks was a wake up call. Now, they’re bringing in a veteran like Jones to plug some holes.
The Patriots are trying to bounce back from that early season defeat, but our Seahawks already showed them what’s up. They’re trying to fix things, but the damage is done.
