Professional career

He was then traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Safety Reggie Nelson and a conditional draft pick on September 4, 2010.[1] It was later announced that the conditions for the draft pick were not met, so this was a one-for-one trade.[2] Jones was released from the Jaguars on September 12, 2011.
