Velus Jones Jr. signs with New Orleans Saints

Former Chicago Bears receiver Velus Jones Jr. has signed a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints. He was drafted by the Bears in 2022 but struggled to secure a consistent role due to fumbling issues. Jones had limited success with the Bears, recording 19 rushes for 165 yards and 12 receptions for 135 yards over three seasons. He was waived in October 2024 after being benched for fumbling in the season opener. This marks Jones's fourth team in four seasons, following stints with the Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Carolina Panthers. He aims to establish himself with the Saints.
