Raiders agree to 3-year deal with WR Jones

ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Oakland Raiders have agreed to a three-year deal with former Green Bay wide receiver James Jones.

General manager Reggie McKenzie announced the deal Monday for a player he is very familiar with from his time previously in the Packers’ front office.

Jones has 310 career catches for 4,305 yards and 37 touchdowns in 104 games over seven seasons in Green Bay. His most productive year came in 2012 when he had 64 catches for 784 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Jones had 59 catches for a career-high 817 yards and three scores last season despite being without star quarterback Aaron Rodgers for seven games.
