Cornerback Jason McCourty has been in the league 12 years and he has plans for a 13th.
With that being said, after spending the last three years with his twin brother Devin in New England, he remains unsigned and is still a free agent.
Appearing on Good Morning Football Wednesday morning, Jason gave an update on his status.
“Yeah, this year in free agency has been different, obviously with the cap and everything as a result of 2020,” he said said. “I just want to be somewhere I’m wanted and (have) an opportunity to compete and help the guys around me. As an older player now, I really look forward and love being able to mentor the younger guys and be able to kind of help them grow, as well as going out there competing and trying to win games.
“So wherever that may be, I’m going to be excited. This will be Year 13, so each year, you’re closer to the end. This could be it. I’m just so excited to get somewhere and play football.”
It is interesting that the Patriots have not re-signed him, which could be an indication they have other plans. But with that being said, cornerback is still a question mark as it isn't totally clear what will happen with Stephon Gilmore and JC Jackson.
McCourty certainly isn't the player he once was, but he clearly has value to a team, especially in the locker room which the Patriots have seen first-hand the last couple years.
