Eventually picked No. 27 overall, Jones stunned at the NFL Combine in February, breaking the record for the longest broad jump of 12 feet, and coming inches short of the best all-time vertical.
The deal is for four years, worth $8.6 million with $7 million in guaranteed money and a $4.515 million signing bonus.A dazzling athlete at Connecticut, Jones is expected (more hoped) to make an immediate impact in the Cowboys' needy secondary. Dallas posted the 26th-best pass defense last season, allowing 252 yards thrown against them every Sunday, though allowed comparatively few touchdowns (22) and the fifth-most interceptions (18).
The club are still to decide what position he will start, mentioning during the draft that his flexibility was a plus for them. He featured largely at corner during team OTAs before moving to safety this week.
