We have a plot twist in the Jalen Mills saga.
The free-agent cornerback is staying with the New England Patriots on a revised one-year contract worth up to $ 6.1 million, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday. The news comes after Schefter reported last Friday that New England was releasing Mills.
Mills may have hinted that a deal was coming Tuesday night with a simple emoji.
Mills returning to New England is a surprising development that comes with another layer of intrigue: The 28-year-old plans to move from cornerback to safety in 2023, according to The Score's Jordan Schultz.
