The Buffalo Bills made sweeping changes to their roster before the start of free agency. In the span of a few hours, the Bills cut six veterans and re-signed several players.
However, when it comes to defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, one of Buffalo’s most important pending free agents, it’s crickets. Jones checked in with Bills Mafia on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday, March 8.
“Twitter world! How we feeling !? I’ve been M.I.A I know missed ya too,” Jones posted. Fans immediately flooded the post with comments, hoping for an announcement that he’s re-signing with Buffalo. However, the 32-year-old appears to be in the dark when it comes to his contract status.
“Twitter fam, you know what I know 🤷🏾♂️ so idk what to tell you haha,” Jones posted. Bills Mafia strongly reacted to Jones’ comment. Cover 1’s Adam Pensel posted, “It is very strange to me that he appears to have not had conversations with the Bills yet. I wonder what their plan is at DT.”
One fan wrote, “Guys… I’m getting worried Beane’s not bringing him back.”
The veteran’s $14 million contract expired after the 2023 NFL season. According to Spotrac.com, his market value demands an affordable one-year, $6.8 million deal.
While Jones missed most of the season with a pectoral tear, he was a force before getting injured. Jones earned an impressive 90.1 overall grade from Pro Football Focus for his performance throughout the first four games of the season, recording 2.5 sacks and 6.0 tackles.
