The Jacksonville Jaguars officially re-signed restricted free agent Andrew Wingard and exclusive rights free agent linebacker, Jamir Jones, on Monday.
Jones signed with the Jaguars after the Los Angeles Rams waived him in December. He started the 2021 season on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ active roster but was eventually waived on Sept. 28. The Rams then picked him up a day later but released him on Dec. 25. Jones registered 15 total tackles last season while playing in 15 games.
The Houston Texans signed Jones as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame following the 2020 NFL draft.
Jones will join an outside linebackers group that consists of Josh Allen, K’Lavon Chaisson, Jordan Smith, and potentially the first overall pick in the upcoming draft, to name a few. That said, it could be an uphill battle for him to make the roster, but a strong preseason could get him on a regular season roster once again.
Over The Cap reports that Jones’ salary for 2022 is $825,000.
