EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Coach Tom Coughlin confirmed Friday that the Giants had signed James Jones, the former Green Bay and Oakland wide receiver.
“He will be here tonight, hopefully, for meetings,” Coughlin said Friday after practice, the team’s first of training camp. “He’s a veteran receiver with outstanding hands, and he’s been in this system, which he knows well.”
Jones played under Ben McAdoo, the Giants’ offensive coordinator, at Green Bay. Jones, who had a career-high 73 receptions last season for Oakland, was considering multiple free-agent offers in the N.F.L. He has 383 career receptions for 4,971 yards and 43 touchdowns.
