Marvin Jones Rumors: Patriots 'Have Liked' Lions Free Agent 'For a While'

The New England Patriots reportedly could be an option for free-agent receiver Marvin Jones Jr. this offseason.

According to Doug Kyed of NESN, "the Patriots have liked Marvin Jones for a while."

Jones has spent the last five seasons with the Detroit Lions, finishing 2020 with 978 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on a career-high 76 catches.

It could also be an opportunity to rejoin Matt Patricia, who is set to return to New England after being the head coach of the Lions for the past three years, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.
