Reports: Patriots sign DE Dre'Mont Jones, FB Reggie Gilliam

The New England Patriots agreed to a three-year, $39.5 million deal with free agent defensive end Dre'Mont Jones, NFL Network reported Monday.

Jones, 29, has 37.5 career sacks in 108 games (69 starts) over seven NFL seasons with four teams. He has 253 tackles, 87 quarterback hits, 47 stops for loss, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and one interception.

Jones split last season between the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens and the timing of the trade led him to play in 18 games. He had a career-best seven sacks -- 4.5 for the Titans in nine games and 2.5 in nine games for the Ravens -- and a career-high 24 QB hits.

Jones was a third-round draft pick in 2019 and played his first four seasons (2019-22) with the Denver Broncos, compiling 22 of his sacks there. He also spent two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks (2023-24).

NFL Network also reported that New England agreed to a three-year, $12 million deal with fullback Reggie Gilliam.

Gilliam, 28, spent all six of his NFL seasons with the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills. His blocking skills are among the best of NFL fullbacks and he also has scored two receiving touchdowns in 94 games (11 starts).
