The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys are both eyeing the same free agent as they prepare for the 2025 NFL season. Both teams have strong expectations heading into the season, with Green Bay coming off back-to-back playoff appearances and looking to improve with free-agent acquisitions, the draft, and a healthy Jordan Love. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 but have enjoyed three consecutive seasons with 12 regular-season wins under head coach Mike McCarthy.
The two teams are reportedly competing for the same player, recently released cornerback Jack Jones. After being let go by the Las Vegas Raiders, Jones is making waves in the NFL. The Raiders attempted to trade him before his release, but found no suitors. Jones, who was part of the Raiders’ starting lineup last season, had an impressive stat line with 16 passes defensed, three interceptions, and 69 tackles. Previously, he was with the New England Patriots, who cut him midseason, and the Raiders picked him up shortly after.
Jones is seen as a potential addition to the Packers’ defense, which could benefit from his skills in the secondary. The Cowboys have also been connected to Jones, known for taking chances on players with past issues. At 27 years old, Jones is drawing attention, and both teams are reportedly vying for his services.
