The Buffalo Bills waited just a week into camp before they decided to augment their talent pool at running back signing free agent Taiwan Jones late Wednesday.
The former fourth-round pick of the Oakland Raiders (2011) was released by the club last week. A part time contributor in the Oakland backfield for his first six NFL seasons, Jones also served as a kick returner.
His future in Oakland looked to be in doubt last season after the Raiders drafted RB DeAndre Washington in the fourth round of the 2016 draft. This past offseason after Oakland successfully pulled Marshawn Lynch out of retirement, Jones’ days were numbered in a very crowded Raiders backfield.
