The San Francisco 49ers agreed to a one-year deal with free agent cornerback Jack Jones.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus said the two sides agreed to the deal Friday after Jones had a visit at the team's facility.
Jones, 28, was originally a fourth-round pick by New England in 2022 and spent time last season with Miami, where he started all 17 games and finished with one interception, two forced fumbles and six passes defensed.
He made multiple trademark ball-hawking plays over the course of the season for Miami. He forced two critical fumbles against the New York Jets in Week 4 and the Buffalo Bills in Week 10.
Jones also intercepted Marcus Mariota on the first play of overtime against the Washington Commanders in Madrid in Week 11, which directly led to Miami's game-winning field goal.
Jones has had his most success playing press man coverage, which should fit well in new coordinator Raheem Morris' scheme with the 49ers. Jones adds depth for San Francisco behind starters Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green at outside cornerback.
Jones showed flashes as a rookie with New England, but got cut midway through his second season. He signed with the Las Vegas Raiders and made a big impact with two interception returns for TDs in back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City.
Jones wasn't nearly as effective the following season, when his aggressive play contributed to him allowing 10 touchdowns in coverage, according to Pro Football Focus.
He was released by Las Vegas last April and signed with Miami before the season.
Jones has eight interceptions and 33 passes defensed in four seasons in the NFL. His four career pick-sixes are the second most in the NFL since he entered the league in 2022.
