Henderson, Nev. – The Las Vegas Raiders are launching corner Jack Jones after trying to exchange it, sources confirmed to ESPN on Sunday.
The Raiders will save $ 3.4 million in salary space after passing from Jones.
Jones played in 24 games with the Raiders after the franchise claimed him outside the exemptions in 2023 after his launch of the New England Patriots, where he played only a full season.
In 2024, Jones began 16 games and totaled a better career in Tacleadas (69), defended (16) and interceptions (3). But Jones gave 698 yards, 9 touchdowns and a pin rating of 108.9 in 88 objectives such as the closest defender.
After the exits of Jones and Nate Hobbs, who joined the Green Bay Packers in a four -year contract, the Raiders Corner Room presents Jakorian Bennett, 2024 Decamerion Richardson, MJ Devonshire, Kyu Blu Kelly, Eric Stokes and Darnay Holmes.
Bennett, Stokes and Richardson play mainly abroad, and Holmes is the only nickel corner of the team. At the annual league meeting, General Manager John Spytek said the team had to discover the place of nickel.
“Nickel is a critical place in Pete [Carroll]’sand [defensive coordinator Patrick Graham’s] Defense, “Spytek said.” … We emphasize the importance of that position in our defense. They are asked to do a lot, and they can be difficult to find. “
Wait for raiders to use this month’s draft to improve their depth in the corner. Las Vegas could point to Michigan’s corner, Will Johnson in the first round. Meanwhile, players such as Maxwell Hairson (Kentucky) and Trey Amos (Ole Miss) could be possible selections of day 2.
Jones’ news was first reported by NFL Network.
