Former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones has opted to sign with the Miami Dolphins in free agency, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Monday evening.

"This deal is large," Rapoport added. "Sounds like $17 [million] a year or more."

The deal would become official once the new league year begins at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

ESPN's Josina Anderson had reported earlier Monday that the Dolphins, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles were among the teams that had "discussed interest" in Jones.
