Jarron Jones

Jones is the ninth former-XFL player that the Steelers have added to their roster. It remains to be see how many, if any, will make the final roster after August cuts.

Jones signed a future/reserve contract with the Lions on Dec. 31 of 2018 -- barely five months ago -- but is now a free agent again. The Notre Dame product was originally a defensive end but began the transition to the offensive line. Whether Jones signs with another team -- and what side of the ball he would play on -- should become more clear as the offseason rolls on.

Now in Detroit, it isn't clear if Jones (6-foot-6, 320 pounds) will continue his attempted transition to offensive tackle after spending his college career at Notre Dame as a defensive end. We should know more as the offseason unfolds.
