The Seattle Seahawks signed veteran offensive linemen Josh Jones to a one-year contract in free agency. Jones is currently penciled into a swing backup role on the offensive line. His primary objective will likely be to provide depth behind Charles Cross and Abe Lucas at offensive tackle.
Jones' deal was initially reported as a one-year agreement without the complete details. Over The Cap has since updated that information. Jones will earn a base salary of $2.245 million. The breakdown includes a prorated $1.5 million signing bonus (the fully guaranteed amount), and a per-game roster bonus of $255,000. The cap number equals $4 million. The contract is worth "up to" $4.75 million, insinuating there's some incentive earning potential.
Jones entered the league as a third-round selection of the NFC West rival Arizona Cardinals in the 2020 NFL draft. The former Cougars standout later played for the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens before now landing in Seattle.
Jones played limited snaps at both swing tackle positions for the Ravens this past season. Signing him indicates head coach Mike Macdonald sees him as George Fant's replacement. In 2021, Jones also played 612 snaps at right guard. His familiarity with the interior positions offers the Seahawks multi-position versatility.
