That’s a huge accomplishment considering his time in Buffalo. I wish him nothing but the best, but it’s frustrating he didn’t seem to take being a pro seriously in Buffalo. There’d definitely be a place for him with Josh. I wouldn’t ever sign the guy, but it’s a shame he couldn’t get it together here. he won McDermott's offseason training award for biggest body change .. McDermott praised his work ethic He just couldn't catch balls from Josh Allen.. wasn't from a lack of trying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott praised his work ethic He just couldn't catch balls from Josh Allen.. wasn't from a lack of trying I think McDermott was trying to motivate him. As I pointed out above, Zay Jones actually caught more balls for more yards, first downs, and TDs from rookie Josh Allen than he has any other year since. Truth! https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JoneZa00.htm So it's not like he's caught more from anyone else...though he has raised his catch % If I were Beasley I'd be fuming right now. That guy gets $8M/yr. Beasley has caught more passes last year than Zay Jones had targets, and damned close to 3x more yards (2400 in 3 yrs vs 800 in 3 yrs). Beasley wants to be traded, and he can't even get someone to pony up a mere $6.1M for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is more a product of being the best of a bad bunch like foster here too His catch % pretty bad tho .. so he wasn't exactly reliable He actually was decent last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a decent 4/5 WR for Raiders. Note I didn't say they weren't necessarily executing that plan well. It's just the only philosophy that makes sense for such significant overpays on mediocre players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn’t jump to such conclusions, but something seemed off. It wouldn’t be unusual for a young guy to turn things around. He’ll never be a great player, but he seems more together these days. It shows watching him play. He looks like his head is actually in the game. Jones looked like a deer in the headlights half the time here.

I honestly thought he had like no chance at succeeding here But it sounds like he got his mental side under control .

Mister Defense Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Wow, seems about 3 times too big with his 500+ passing yards and very low 67% catch percentage. Was just surprised to see Jones had 652 yards and 7 touchdowns for the Bills in 2018. He faded so fast the next year I had forgotten he had a good year for a 2nd year player, and played better as the season progressed. But 81 catches since he left the Bills. Seems like a good dude, so more power to him. May be a good fit with Kirk, and their QB should be better. So, you never know, I guess.

Big Turk Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 WTF is Jacksonville doing?? Gave Kirk $18+ million a year and now Jones $8 million a year? Are they having to overpay that badly to get anyone to want to come there? $26 million for a good slot receiver and a decent 3rd WR, but more likely a 4th WR?? Wow...
