In 2021, Chris Grier signed offensive lineman Robert Jones to an undrafted rookie contract. They gave him $130,000 guaranteed to sign with them. It was a smart move.
Jones played just eight games in his rookie season, starting one, but in 2024, the guard started and played all 17 games. Miami opted not to bring him back for another season, deciding instead to keep Liam Eichenberg.
Jones and Eichenberg both missed the entire 2025 season, but Eichenberg's knee issues could be career-ending. Jones, on the other hand, is a free agent who landed with the 49ers.
