Cowboys Rumors: Byron Jones' 5th-Year Contract Option Expected to Be Picked Up

Byron Jones will reportedly return to the Dallas Cowboys in 2019, as the team is expected to pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

Jones will earn $6.17 million in his fifth year, per that report, and the contract will be guaranteed for injury.

The Cowboys selected Jones with the 27th overall pick of the 2015 draft. Through his first three seasons with the team, he registered 236 combined tackles and two interceptions. He also forced two fumbles.

Jones was a cornerback when he joined Dallas' roster as a rookie but quickly shifted to safety.
