San Diego, CA (SportsNetwork.com) – Jacoby Jones has found a new home, with the free-agent wide receiver\/return specialist agreeing to terms with the San Diego Chargers on a two-year contract Friday.<\/p>\n
NFL.com reported the deal to be worth a maximum of $5.5 million.<\/p>\n
Jones was released by Baltimore on Feb. 25 in a cap-saving move. The eight- year veteran had spent the past three seasons with the Ravens and played a key role in the team’s 2012 championship run, scoring both a receiving touchdown and a 108-yard kickoff return score in Super Bowl XLVII.<\/p>\n
One of the league’s most dangerous returners, Jones ranked among the NFL leaders last season with a 30.6 yards-per-return average on kickoffs and owns 10 career special-teams touchdowns. The 30-year-old had just nine catches for 131 yards on offense, however.<\/p>\n
Jones joins a Chargers team that didn’t have a kick return of over 35 yards in 2014.<\/p>\n
For his career, Jones has averaged 27.4 yards per kick return and 10.1 yards taking back punts. He was named first team All-Pro as a return man in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
