Who? Let’s find out together!
After the signing of Jeff Okudah earlier on Tuesday morning, the Minnesota Vikings decided to add some depth to their wide receiver room as well.
The team has announced that they have reached an agreement with wide receiver Tim Jones, with the terms of that deal not immediately being made available.
Jones initially signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi in 2021 and spent that entire season on the Jacksonville practice squad. Over the past three seasons, he has appeared in all 51 regular season games for the Jaguars with three starts.
He hasn’t put up much in terms of receiving numbers, as he has just 17 receptions for 154 yards and no touchdowns. His biggest value appears to be on special teams, as he played 68% of the Jaguars’ special teams snaps this past season. Jones also had a pair of kick returns this past season for 43 yards.
This is, once again, another depth signing for the Vikings. I’m sure that Jones will get a chance to compete for time in camp and, in all likelihood, will continue to be a special teams contributor for the team if he makes the squad.
Welcome to Minnesota, Tim Jones!
