Jalen Mills
S - New York Giants
2024 Outlook
The New York Giants signed Jalen Mills to a one-year deal.
Fantasy Impact
Mills was with the Patriots the past three seasons. He'll be a veteran piece in the Giants secondary.
The New England Patriots are not making DB Jalen Mills active for Thursday night's game against the Buffalo Bills after being questionable to play.
Fantasy Impact
Mills was limited all week and will not play against the Bills and their strong passing attack. In Mills' absence, rookie DB Jack Jones could see increased playing time with DB Shaun Wade also out. Mills played 63% of the team's defensive snaps in Week 12 and has played in 10 games. The Patriots are also listing RB Damien Harris, T Isaiah Wynn, FS Joshuah Bledsoe and NT Carl Davis as inactive.
DB Jalen Mills and the Patriots have agreed on a four-year, $24 million contract. The deal includes $9 million guaranteed.
Fantasy Impact
Mills gives the Patriots a new look secondary and is one of three defensive players New England reached agreements with on Monday. He racked up a career-high 74 tackles (59 solo), one interception and one forced fumble across 15 games for the Eagles in 2020. Mills is versatile and can play both cornerback and safety for the Patriots in 2021.
Per Drew Rosenhaus, Eagles S Jalen Mills is signing a one-year, $4M deal to remain in Philadelphia. The deal can be worth up to $5M if Mills makes the Pro Bowl and hits playing time targets.
Fantasy Impact
A seventh-round pick out of LSU in 2016, Mills has surprised a lot of people around the league and in the Eagles organization. He’ll be rewarded for his first four years in Philadelphia as he signs a one-year deal worth up to $5M to remain with the team as a cornerstone of their secondary.
Jalen Mills records six solo tackles and one assisted tackle in the Philadelphia Eagles' Week 7 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Mills has been an average fantasy safety this year, but he's solid. Continue to start him unless you have an option that's clearly better.
