Buccaneers sign Julio Jones

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed wide receiver Julio Jones of Foley, Alabama to a one-year deal worth $6 million according to Zach Koons of Sports Illustrated. There is a possibility that Jones could earn as much as $8 million.

The Buccaneers are Jones’s third National Football League franchise. He previously played 10 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and one season with the Tennessee Titans. 

This past season, Jones had 31 catches for 434 yards and one touchdown with the Titans. His best game came in a 33-30 Tennessee win over the Seattle Seahawks on September 19. Jones had six catches for 128 yards. Jones’s lone touchdown came in a 28-25 Titans win over the Houston Texans on January 9, 2022. It was for three yards and put the Titans up 28-18 at the time.
