Report: Cowboys meeting with WR Zay Jones

[DrRage]

The Cowboys may be looking to make a late free-agency add to an already-crowded wide receiver room. The team is meeting with seven-year veteran Zay Jones on Wednesday, per a report from Jordan Schultz. The former second-round draft pick spent the last two seasons with the Jaguars and has already met with the Titans and Cardinals recently. Jones, 29, came highly touted out of East Carolina in the 2017 draft, going to Buffalo with the 37th overall pick. After 36 game appearances, the Bills traded him to the Raiders midway through the 2019 campaign. Cowboys fans will no doubt recall Jones’s electric performance in 2022’s Week 15 visit to Jacksonville. Born in Dallas, Jones torched his hometown Cowboys for 109 yards on six catches, taking three of them to the end zone in a Jaguars overtime win.
