The Cincinnati Bengals have finally found some cornerback help in free agency with former second-round pick Sidney Jones.
According to The Score’s Jordan Schultz, the Bengals have signed the 26-year-old defensive back to a one-year deal.
Jones was a second-rounder for Philadephia who spent three seasons with the Eagles before bouncing around with two teams and ultimately landing in Cincinnati.
The Bengals entered the offseason needing help at cornerback with both Tre Flowers and Eli Apple set to hit the open market and No. 1 corner Chidobe Awuzie still rehabbing an injury.
Adding Jones this late in the process helps the Bengals keep their draft options open and doesn’t rule out the return of Apple or Flowers, if not both.
