Cardinals’ Zay Jones is a bounce-back candidate for the 2024 season

After agreeing to a one-year contract, wide receiver Zay Jones of the Arizona Cardinals enters a redesigned receivers room with the opportunity to contribute right away to the squad. Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus lists Jones as the Cardinals’ best chance to recover, seeing him as a complementary player to rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

Following Marquise Brown’s signing with the Kansas City Chiefs and Rondale Moore’s trade to the Atlanta Falcons in both free agency and the draft, General Manager Monti Ossenfort addressed the need at the position by signing Jones and selecting Harrison with the No. 4 pick.

•  Together with second-year players Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch and tight end Trey McBride—who led the Cardinals in receiving in 2023 with 81 receptions for 825 yards and three touchdowns—the team also signed former Tennessee Titans receiver Chris Moore to a one-year deal. Jones has 287 receptions for 3,028 yards and 18 touchdowns in eight NFL seasons. He hopes to recover from missing eight games in 2023 due to hamstring and knee problems.
