He signed with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/team\/_\/name\/lv\/las-vegas-raiders\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> and made a big impact with two interception returns for TDs in back-to-back wins over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/team\/_\/name\/lac\/los-angeles-chargers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/team\/_\/name\/kc\/kansas-city-chiefs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kansas City<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jones wasn&#8217;t nearly as effective the following season, when his aggressive play contributed to him allowing 10 touchdowns in coverage, according to Pro Football Focus.<\/p>\n<p>He was released by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/team\/_\/name\/lv\/las-vegas-raiders\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Las Vegas<\/a> last April and signed with Miami before the season.<\/p>\n<p>Jones has eight interceptions and 33 passes defensed in four seasons in the NFL.
