As the Miami Dolphins brought in free agent guard James Daniels, incumbent starting guard Robert Jones left for the Dallas Cowboys Monday night.
Jones heads to Dallas on a one-year deal worth up to $4.75 million, according to agents Drew Rosenhaus and Shawn O’Dare.
Jones had interest in returning to the Dolphins, he told the South Florida Sun Sentinel before free agency, but he ultimately ends up with the Cowboys earning a decent pay day after his first season as a full-time starter in 2024.
Jones first made the Dolphins’ active roster as an undrafted rookie in 2021. He was a quality reserve lineman for his first three seasons, starting 13 games between then and 2023. He started all 17 games at left guard for the Dolphins in 2024 before becoming an unrestricted free agent.
While adding Daniels and versatile reserve Larry Borom on Monday night, the free agency of fellow Dolphins guards Liam Eichenberg and Isaiah Wynn remains unsettled.
