The Las Vegas Raiders were not the only team to put in a waiver claim on former New England Patriots cornerback Jack Jones following his release.
According to a report by ESPN’s Field Yates, the Minnesota Vikings also tried to bring the 25-year-old aboard. However, their inferior position on the waiver priority order led to them falling short: whereas the 5-5 Raiders sit in the 16th spot, the 6-4 Vikings are the 21st-ranked team.
Jones was waived by the Patriots on Monday after seeing his role reduced the previous two weeks.
