Cornerback Byron Jones is set for a new home and a big payday. As reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Jones is leaving the Dallas Cowboys to sign a five-year, $82.5M deal with the Miami Dolphins. The deal makes Jones the highest-paid cornerback, a title previously held by his new teammate Xavien Howard.
