Overview

  • Jack Jones agreed to a one-year deal with Miami on July 26 to shore up a depleted cornerback group.
  • Artie Burns suffered a torn ACL on the first day of training camp and was placed on season-ending injured reserve.
  • Miami had traded Jalen Ramsey, released Kendall Fuller and added Cornell Armstrong before turning to Jones for veteran depth.
  • In 2024 with the Raiders, Jones started 16 games and posted career highs in tackles (69), passes defended (16) and interceptions (3).
  • The 27-year-old former Patriots fourth-round pick was waived by Las Vegas in April after failed trade attempts and owns seven career interceptions.
