Sources: Jags add WR Jones, deal for DT Brown

NFL

The Jacksonville Jaguars and wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. have agreed to a a two-year, $14.5 million deal, including $9.2 million fully guaranteed, a source tells ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

In Jacksonville, Jones will be reunited with former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who holds the same position on coach Urban Meyer’s staff.

The 31-year-old Jones flourished in his five seasons with the Lions after signing with the team as a free agent in 2016, following the retirement of Hall of Fame receiver Calvin Johnson. With the Lions, he had 289 catches for 4,296 yards and 36 touchdowns. He had his only 1,000-yard season in 2017, with 1,101 yards and an NFL-leading 18 yards per reception.

A fifth-round pick by Cincinnati out of Cal, Jones has played in 112 career games, making 423 catches for 6,025 yards and 51 touchdowns.

Jones said in December that the opinion of his family would help weigh his decision during free agency.

Jones said part of his evaluation process would be where and how he wants to finish his career, and that trying to get a Super Bowl title would be something he’d look at when it came to his decision.
