Julio Jones has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, extending a career that has gone downhill in a big way over the past two years.
Jones is entering his age-33 season after playing just 19 games over his last two campaigns. He had 1,394 receiving yards in 2019, but he's combined for just 1,205 over the past two. He spent '20 with the Falcons and '21 with the Titans.
Jones' yards-per-catch average has remained over 14.0, but every other number is decreasing. His yards-per-game average was a career low by 30.4 yards last season, and he caught 10.4% fewer of his targets last year than he did in 2020.
The Buccaneers already have three veteran receivers in Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Russell Gage, who was presumed to be the direct replacement for Antonio Brown.
