2014
2013
2012
Jones returns as the Cowboys' punter after averaging 45.4 yards, and 39.8 net yards, in 2014
In his first season as the regular punter, Jones averaged 39.1 yards net (20th in the NFL) but dropped 30 of 77 kicks inside the 20 (39.0%, good for 8th). The Cowboys will look to upgrade, but if Jones keeps the job he shouldn't be a liability.
Jones will need to stay healthier than he did in 2012 if he wants to keep his job with the Cowboys.
Has big shoes to fill replacing former Pro Bowler Mat McBriar as the Cowboys' punter.
