When the Pittsburgh Steelers released backup quarterback Landry Jones before the start of the season in favor of Josh Dobbs and Mason Rudolph, countless “experts” among the team’s beat writing community went out of there way to criticize the Steelers’ management for the decision. However, despite all the ridiculous praise heaped on him by many in the local press on his way out of the door, it was clear the rest of the NFL did not appear to share their belief in the quarterback.
Since being released by Pittsburgh, Jones has seemingly had tryouts with most of the league to no avail, but finally a team has emerged desperate enough for his services after the Jacksonville Jaguars announced they had signed him to their 53-man roster on Wednesday.
