CB Jack Jones agrees to deal with Dolphins
Jack Jones has agreed to a one-year deal with the Dolphins. He was waived by the Patriots in November 2023. Jones started 16 of the 17 games he played for the Raiders in 2024.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Dolphins have agreed to terms with former Patriots and Raiders corner Jack Jones. It’s a one-year deal for the veteran.
Jones was a 2022 fourth-round pick in New England and was waived in November 2023 after being benched in the wake of missing curfew on a road trip. He was claimed off of waivers in Las Vegas and he started 16 of the 17 games he played for the Raiders in 2024.
Jones had 69 tackles, three interceptions, and an interception return for a touchdown in those 17 appearances, but he was released after the regime change for the Raiders this offseason. Given the inexperienced corners already on the Dolphins roster, he should have a shot at a starting role in Miami this year as well.

Jones was originally drafted by New England in the fourth round in 2022.
The Patriots waived him in November 2023 after he was benched for missing curfew during a road trip.
The Raiders picked him up off waivers, and he went on to start 16 games for them in the 2024 season.
During that time, Jones racked up 69 tackles, three interceptions, and even returned one for a touchdown. However, after the Raiders made changes to their front office and coaching staff, he was let go this offseason.
Jones has recorded four defensive touchdowns in his career.
With Miami’s cornerback group lacking experience, Jones will likely get a solid opportunity to compete for a starting job this season.
The Dolphins also announced that they released cornerback Ryan Cooper Jr. after signing Jones. Jones will wear number 23, the former number of Burns.
Jones joins a cornerback room that includes Kader Kohou, Cam Smith, Storm Duck and Kendall Sheffield.

Miami Dolphins sign troubled, yet productive, starting caliber cornerback
Jack Jones has signed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins. Jones was released by the Las Vegas Raiders after just two seasons. The 27-year-old was dismissed from the University of Southern California after being arrested for commercial burglary. Jones has been a productive player in his four seasons in the NFL, but has yet to secure a big-money deal due in part to his questionable off-field behavior.

Jones, formerly of the New England Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders, has been a productive player in his four seasons in the National Football League — totaling 7 interceptions during that time — yet he has yet to secure a big-money deal, due in part to his questionable off-field decision making.
As a college player, Jones was arrested for commercial burglary and ultimately dismissed from the University of Southern California ahead of his junior season due to academic struggles.
Following his rookie season with the Patriots, Jones was arrested for bringing two loaded guns to Boston’s Logan Airport. Charges were later dropped, however after missing curfew during his second season in New England, Jones was released from the team.
After just two seasons with the Raiders — during which he tallied five interceptions — Jones was cut by the team after Las Vegas was unsuccessful in their attempts to trade the young player.
Jones is coming off of a career year in Las Vegas — totaling 69 tackles, 16 passes defensed and three interceptions in 2024, however he did give up 698 yards, nine touchdowns and a passer rating of 108.9 according to Pro Football Focus.
The Dolphins will hope to get the best out of the 27-year-old, while also keeping his behavior in check. If Jones is able to keep his head on straight, he will have the potential to earn a starting job in Miami and get his young career back on track.
