Bengals Sign Cornerback Sidney Jones to 1-Year Deal

Cincinnati is adding a veteran defensive back.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals signed veteran cornerback Sidney Jones to a one-year contract on Monday. 

Jones, 26, gives Cincinnati a proven commodity in the secondary to go with Mike Hilton and Cam Taylor-Britt. 

Top cornerback Chidobe Awuzie is still recovering from a torn ACL. Jones gives the Bengals another option, just in case Awuzie isn't ready for the start of the season. 

Jones had 66 tackles and 10 passes defensed for the Seahawks in 2021. He only appeared in 10 games last season, splitting time in Seattle and Las Vegas. 

The Eagles took Jones in the second-round (43rd overall) in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has 154 career tackles, 30 passes defensed and four interceptions in 57 career games.
