Chiefs Sign Former Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones II to One-Year Deal

The Chiefs signed former Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II to a one-year deal, the team announced Sunday.

Jones joins a Chiefs backfield that was in desperate need of roster depth. Clyde Edwards-Helaire enters his third season as the team’s primary ball-carrier, but with Jerrick McKinnon and Darrel Williams both off the books as unrestricted free agents, Kansas City needed help at running back behind their third-year back.

Tampa selected Jones in the second-round pick of the 2018 NFL draft. Jones then carved out a nice role for himself over his first few seasons in Tampa Bay, leading the team in rushing in 2019 (724) and 2020 (978).
