2-Time Super Bowl-Winning Defender Worth $19 Million Predicted to Sign with Detroit Lions in Blockbuster Trade Deal

“If Davis isn’t re-signed, Detroit will be left with an extremely young cornerback corps,” Booher explained. “Bringing in a seasoned veteran like Jones could be a logical move. He’s a two-time Super Bowl champion and could serve as a mentor for emerging players such as Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw.”

Booher acknowledged that Jones struggled in 2024 but emphasized that he would come at a reasonable cost while providing much-needed competition for Detroit’s younger corners. “Acquiring him would be a low-risk, budget-friendly decision that could ultimately benefit players like Arnold and Rakestraw,” Booher added.

Jones started 14 games for New England last season but experienced difficulties in coverage, allowing a 75.5% completion rate on 53 targets and a 146.6 passer rating when thrown at.

At 31 years old, Jones is no longer a lockdown corner, but his postseason experience and veteran savvy could add valuable depth to Kelvin Sheppard’s defense. Additionally, projections from Spotrac and Pro Football Focus estimate his next contract to be around $3 million, making him an affordable option.

Although losing Davis would be a significant setback, Jones wouldn’t be expected to fill his shoes entirely. However, his championship pedigree and leadership qualities would bolster the Lions’ secondary and provide a reliable insurance option should the need arise.
