Former Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. has officially joined the New Orleans Saints on a one-year deal. Selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft by Chicago, Jones struggled to establish himself, switching positions from wide receiver to running back, and ultimately facing challenges in his role as a return specialist. His tenure with the Bears was marked by fumbling issues, leading to limited opportunities on the field.

After being waived mid-season, he spent time on the practice squad of the Jacksonville Jaguars before being signed to the Carolina Panthers’ active roster. Now, with his fourth team in as many seasons, Jones is eager to solidify his position with the Saints and make an impact in their offense.
