Sidney Jones is heading to Seattle. The Jaguars announced that they’ve traded the cornerback to the Seahawks. Jacksonville will acquire a 2022 sixth-round pick in the trade, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero (via Twitter).
The former second-round pick spent the first three seasons of his career with the Eagles, but he only saw time in 22 games (eight starts) during his stint in Philly. After getting waived at the end of the 2020 preseason, Jones caught on with the Jaguars, and he proceeded to have a career season for his new team. The cornerback saw time in nine games (six starts) for Jacksonville, finishing with 26 tackles, nine passes defended, and a pair of interceptions.
Jones was expected to slot in as a backup for Jacksonville in 2021, and he’ll see a similar role in Seattle. Considering the Seahawks only gave up a late-round pick for the 25-year-old, it’s presumably a low-risk move with upside. Tre Flowers and Ahkello Witherspoon are listed as starters for Seattle, but Jones could compete with the likes of John Reid, D.J. Reed, Tre Brown, and Will Sunderland for backup reps.
Jags loading up on those 6th round picks! Just 1 favor to ask, stop the OL seeve.
Seattle needs center help now
Seattle’s gonna be looking at the Legion of Burnt Toast
Hee hee
Shehawks always poaching from the 49ers it’s about time they look elsewhere! Ahkello Witherspoon sucks! The Shehawks do well with corners though so we will see! GO NINERS BABY
Enjoy looking up at the shehawks while y’all go 3-14 pal
Are you saying SF never takes a player from Seattle? You know like the guy who all SF fans hated then the next day loved.
You keep thinking you have owned the NFCW and Seattle had no fans until we went to the SB. Are you upset the Raiders got out of Oakland because it gave you a natural team to root for when SF sucks? Keep talking though you are fun to read.
DJ Reed will start. Flowers is likely cut.
God I hope so. Flowers is straight dook
Underrated move this
Well said, Yoda.
