Tue Mar 11 02:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Dolphins Guard Robert Jones Signs One-Year Deal with Cowboys
**ARLINGTON, TX** – The Dallas Cowboys have bolstered their offensive line, signing former Miami Dolphins guard Robert Jones to a one-year deal worth up to $4.75 million, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday night. The move comes just hours after Jones watched fellow Miami guard James Daniels sign with the Dolphins and follows the retirement of Cowboys legend Zack Martin.
Jones, a 25-year-old who started 17 games for Miami last season, fills a significant gap created by Martin’s departure. While Pro Football Focus ranked him 58th among guards in 2023, the Cowboys are absorbing significant dead money from Martin’s contract, allowing them to pursue cost-effective options. The team already boasts young talent like Tyler Smith (a first-round pick) and recent draft choices Tyler Guyton and Cooper Beebe, but their development has yet to fully materialize.
For Jones, the deal represents a “prove-it” opportunity. He started a combined 22 games over the past three seasons in Miami. His performance this year with the Cowboys will likely determine his future contract value. The team’s offensive line will now feature a mix of veteran experience and youthful potential, creating an intriguing dynamic heading into the 2024 season.
