Jones now joins his fourth team since 2020 after splitting 2022 between the Raiders and Seahawks. Jones spent the final seven weeks of last season with the Raiders, appearing on 64 defensive snaps while serving primarily as a backup. Now joining the Bengals, the former second-round pick will likely serve as added depth for their secondary heading into this season.

Jones was released with little fanfare earlier this week, but will catch on quickly with the Raiders. Jones was barely playing with the Seahawks this year, getting in just three games, but had a 69.2 PFF coverage rating in 2021 and could be a decent stopgap option for the Raiders secondary. 

Seattle signed Jones to a one-year $3.6 million deal that included incentives up to a total of $4.4 million. Jones played in a career-high 16 games, rewarding the Seahawks for trading a sixth-round pick for him ahead of the 2021 season. Jones is a former second-round pick of the Eagles but was waived in 2020 after dealing with a slew of injuries. He graded 32nd in Pro Football Focus' coverage grades among cornerbacks and should be a solid starter for the Seahawks once again in 2022.

Waived by the Eagles on the eve of last season, Jones made six starts for the Jags. He was re-signed by the new regime in March but didn't show enough to keep his 53-man roster spot in Jacksonville. Although Jones is still only 25 years old, he has a lengthy injury history in addition to his performance issues. His career will be at a perilous point if he doesn't stick in Seattle.
