Raiders sign former Steelers QB Landry Jones

Add some more competition for the backup QB spot in Oakland behind Derek Carr. The Raiders have signed former longtime Steelers backup Landry Jones.

The former 4th round pick backed up Ben Roethlisberger for five seasons in Pittsburgh, appearing in 8 games and starting five. In that time he went 108-of-169 (63.9%) for 1,310 yards, 8 touchdowns and 7 interceptions for a passer rating of 86.2.

The 6-4, 225-pounder saw his time with the Steelers end with the final round of cuts last season. He signed on with the Jaguars at the end of October and was cut by the end of November.
