The Jacksonville Jaguars have released veteran wide receiver Zay Jones.
Jones, 29, signed a three-year contract with the Jaguars before the 2022 season. His release saved the Jags about $4.2 million against the salary cap but also created a dead-money hit of more than $6.5 million, according to Jaguars Wire.
Jones was selected by the Buffalo Bills out of East Carolina with a second-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
Jones slowly came along during his career in Buffalo, eventually leading the Bills with 56 receptions for 652 yards and seven touchdowns in 2018.
After off-field issues, Buffalo traded Jones to then-Oakland Raiders, where he played for two-and-a-half seasons.
Because of his connections with the Bills, there could be a possibility he’s added to Buffalo’s receiving room. The Bills selected only one receiver in the 2024 NFL draft, landing Keon Coleman via a second-round pick.
