It Is What It Is » Free agent snapshot: Arthur Jones
Count me in on Arthur Jones, just the kind of player the Pats should add to their defensive line.
The opportunity to play alongside a brother can be a powerful lure — the chance to have someone you know watching your back at all times might be the sort of thing that could attract the older brother to Foxboro. His versatility would allow the Patriots to do multiple things, including work him as a defensive tackle who could occasionally kick out to defensive end in relief of his brother Chandler or fellow defensive end Ninkovich. (There’s also the possibility New England could take advantage of Ninkovich’s versatility and move him to an outside linebacker spot if Arthur is needed as a defensive end.)
