Jaguars' Abry Jones: Inks four-year contract extension

Jones will sign a four-year, $16 million contract extension with the Jaguars, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com reports.

Analysis:

Jones has been with the Jaguars for the first four years of his career, and they've opted to reward him with an extension after he recorded 32 tackles during the 2016 campaign. He ended up starting nine of 15 games and was more than a serviceable run stopper, so look for Jones to continue to play a significant role in the defensive line rotation moving forward. Barring any changes prior to training camp, look for Jones to open the preseason as one of the Jaguars' two starters at defensive tackle.
