Donald Jones Rumors & News

The Buffalo Bills were roundly criticized when they decided not to tender offers on restricted free agents Donald Jones and David Nelson earlier this off-season. Nelson, in particular, was seen as a big loss following a breakout season in 2011, when he grabbed 61 passes for 658 yards and five scores. Fast forward two months, and GM Buddy Nix has completely remade the wide receiver depth chart. He added second-round pick Robert Woods from USC and Texas third-rounder Marquise Goodwin in the 2013 NFL Draft, and followed that up by signing supremely talented but troubled wideout Da'Rick Ro...

The Buffalo Bills' wide receiver corps will look much different in 2013. Gone are Donald Jones and David Nelson, two of Buffalo's top receivers for the last three seasons. With 2012 third-round selection T.J. Graham tenuously penciled in opposite Stevie Johnson, general manager Buddy Nix may opt to add a starter in this April's 2013 NFL Draft. "We're certainly looking at wide receiver," Nix said in December about the upcoming draft. Noting that Buffalo needed to add a franchise quarterback, too, he mentioned the Cincinnati Bengals' approach that earned them a playoff nod in two consecu...

The New England Patriots have added another piece to their arsenal on offense, agreeing to a three year contract with former Bills wide receiver Donald Jones. Jones, 25, enjoyed his best season as a pro for the Bills in 2012. Jones played in 12 games, starting 10, and recorded 41 receptions for 443 yards and four touchdowns. He was targeted a total of 67 times. 25 of his 41 receptions also resulted in first down conversions. While his yard per catch numbers weren’t too impressive last season (10.8), he does have some speed in additional to a solid frame. At the combine in 2010, J...

The New England Patriots' interest in Buffalo Bills' restricted free agent WR Donald Jones seemed to spike after he wasn't tendered an offer by GM Buddy Nix. But it was probably the "if you can't beat them, sign them" mindset the organization has permanently adopted that really brought this into fruition. The six-foot, 208-pound receiver who first came into the league as an undrafted free agent out of Youngstown State adds a sizable amount of speed and physicality to the outside. While spending three years with the Bills, Jones, 25, really came on last season, setting career-highs in j...
