The Jaguars and Jones agreed to a three-year contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: This marks the second wide receiver to ink a deal with Jacksonville to open free agency after Christian Kirk landed a massive four-year deal earlier Monday. A second-round pick of the Bills back in 2017, Jones joins the third organization of his career, coming off a 47-546-1 line on 70 targets with the Raiders last season. He'll likely vie with Laviska Shenault for the No. 3 WR spot behind Kirk and Marvin Jones.
Zay Jones Scores in playoff loss
Jones caught five passes for 61 yards and one touchdown on eight targets against Cincinnati on Saturday.
Analysis: It's another encouraging entry in what's been an impressive breakout season for Jones. After playing sparingly in the first seven weeks the Raiders upped Jones' workload and usage following the Week 8 bye, from which point he saw 71 targets in the next 11 games, including this playoff game. Jones is a former second-round pick who dominated at the collegiate level and has 4.45 speed, so the way he played in 2021 is more in line with what his career expectations were all along.
