The Jacksonville Jaguars have re-signed CB Sidney Jones IV, the team announced on Tuesday.
No word on the length and money of the contract
Jones, 24, appeared in nine games with six starts with the Jaguars in 2020 after spending the first three seasons of his career with the Eagles.
The four-year veteran played well at times with Jacksonville last season. During his 2020 campaign, he totaled 25 tackles, a career-high nine passes defensed, two INTs, and one forced fumble.
On Oct. 11 against the Texans, Jones had a breakout performance as he tallied three tackles and a career-high four passes defensed and an INT, becoming the first Jaguars player to achieve the feat since 2017.
During his time in Philadelphia, Jones struggled with injuries and played in 22 contests over three seasons, including nine in 2018 and 12 in 2019. He was originally drafted in the second round of the 2017 draft by the Eagles.
This is a great opportunity for Jones, who has been a disappointment in his young career. However, he is still young and has shown some flashes, so it should be interesting to see if he can continue to impress in Jacksonville.
