The Patriots love taking someone else’s castoffs, as if only to prove that they’re smarter than that person.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Patriots have signed former Bills wide receiver Donald Jones.

Jones wasn’t tendered as a restricted free agent by the Bills. He’s shown some flashes in the past, with 41 catches in 12 games last year. But an undisclosed medical condition kept him off the field late in the year, and that might have had something to do with the Bills hesitance to keep him.
