Dolphins Claim DT Chris Jones Off Waivers From Patriots

Field Yates of ESPN is reporting that the Dolphins have claimed DT Chris Jones off of waivers from the Patriots on Monday.

Jones, 25, is a former sixth-round pick of the Texans back in 2013. He lasted just a few months in Houston before he was waived and later claimed by the Buccaneers. Jones was once again waived after a few weeks and this time claimed by the Patriots.

He’s in the final year of his four-year, $2.253 million rookie contract and stands to make a base salary of $675,000 for the 2016 season.

In 2014, Jones appeared in 15 games for the Patriots and recorded 25 tackles and three sacks.
