ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The San Francisco 49ers have signed free agent cornerback Jack Jones to a one-year deal following a visit to the team's facility.
- Jones, 28, was a fourth-round pick by New England in 2022 and started all 17 games last season with Miami, recording one interception, two forced fumbles, and six passes defensed.
- Known for his success in press man coverage, Jones is expected to fit well in new coordinator Raheem Morris' scheme and will provide depth behind starters Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green.
- Jones has had notable moments, including two interception return touchdowns with the Las Vegas Raiders, but also faced challenges with coverage, allowing 10 touchdowns in a recent season.
- Over four NFL seasons, Jones has accumulated eight interceptions, 33 passes defensed, and ranks second in the league for career pick-sixes since 2022 with four.
