BALTIMORE - Wide receiver and kick returner Jacoby Jones has been released by the Ravens, according to the team website.
Jones was due $3.3 million against their cap and caught only nine passes for 131 yards last season, though remains a viable returning threat, in 2012 being named an All-Pro after a 70 yard kickoff return touchdown in the playoffs that produced an eventual victory against the Broncos.
His 108 yard return score in the subsequent Super Bowl was the longest play in that game's history, and in his career averaged 30.6 yards per return.
"We thank Jacoby for what he did for us," head coach Jim Harbaugh said in a release. "He was invaluable to our success. Opponents, especially on special teams, schemed to stop him. What a compliment to him."
Jones had 10 touchdowns with the Ravens over three seasons, and has 2,733 career yards.
"Jacoby is one of my most favorite players ever to coach, an absolute joy to be around. He's a good person with a good heart," Harbaugh added.
