Jason La Canfora reports that free agent OLB Jarvis Jones will visit with the Rams after he finishes up his meeting with the Cardinals on Monday.
Jones’ market is clearly picking up now that we’re in the second wave of free agency. He’s one of the top pass-rushers still available and is getting looks from some 3-4 teams along with with the Steelers.
Jones, 27, was taken with the No. 17 overall pick back in 2013. He played out the final year of his four-year, $8,705,502 rookie contract that included a base salary of $1,592,115 for the 2016 season and is now testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career.
Last year, Pittsburgh declined to pick up Jones’ fifth-year option that would have run them $8.3 million for the 2017 season.
In 2016, Jones appeared in 14 games for the Steelers and recorded 42 tackles, one sack, an interception, two forced fumbles, a recovery and three pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 49 edge defender out of 109 qualifying players.
We had him featured in our Top 50 Available Free Agents list.
