Reshad Jones appears like he'll be staying with the Dolphins for at least one more season.
Miami reportedly had been looking to move the 31-year-old safety. But, he told the Miami Herald the team promised him he wouldn't be playing for a new team anytime soon.
“They said I won’t be traded this year,” Jones told the Herald.
Miami originally selected Jones out of Georgia in the fifth round of the 2010 draft and he has spent his entire nine-year career with the team. He has made two Pro Bowls and picked off 21 passes during his time with the Dolphins.
Jones, who has been dealing with a foot injury and underwent offseason shoulder surgery, could reportedly have his playing time cut in 2019.
“Whatever my role is I am willing to take (that) on and be the best I can,” Jones said recently. “I can play free safety, I can play strong safety. New coaching, new staff, new system, that’s part of it. I still have Pro Bowl-caliber in me, a lot of good football in me that I can play. I’m just trying to be the best player I can be. I’m focusing on doing everything I can to help this team.”
Jones, 31, recorded 72 total tackles, nine pass breakups and three interceptions in 14 games for Miami last season.
