Sidney Jones IV Fantasy

Free-agent cornerback Sidney Jones IV is expected to sign with the Raiders. Jones, who was recently released by the Seahawks, has accumulated 147 total tackles, 29 passes defensed, and four interceptions since being drafted in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. With Vegas allowing 255 passing yards per game in 2022-23, the team could certainly use all the help it can get. With that said, it's unknown how much work Jones will receive for his new team early on, so a potential fantasy impact may not be immediate.

After attempting to trade cornerback Sidney Jones at the deadline on Tuesday, the Seattle Seahawks waived him. Jones, a second-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017 out of the University of Washington, will hit the open market after playing in just three games in his second season in Seattle. He played just 45 defensive snaps in those three contests and had five tackles (four solo). The 26-year-old also missed the Week 8 win over the New York Giants due to a groin injury, so he'll need to prove his health in order to latch on with another club. Jones had a career-high 66 tackles (45 solo) and 10 passes defensed in 16 games (11 starts) in his first year with the Seahawks in 2021.

The Jacksonville Jaguars re-signed cornerback Sidney Jones to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Jones played in nine games last year (six starts) and played at a high level for the team's secondary. A second-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017, Jones signed to the Jaguars practice squad in September after being released. He joined the team's active roster in mid-September and moved into the starting lineup in Week 5. The 24-year-old registered 25 tackles and a career-high nine passes defensed, two interceptions and a forced fumble in 2020. Jacksonville also re-signed cornerback Tre Herndon last week and also re-signed veteran guard/center Tyler Shatley. In addition to Herndon and Jones, the Jags brought in former Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin.
