2025 offseason roster profile: T Christian Jones
We will look at their 2024 season, their contract status and what their status is for the coming offseason and 2025 season.
Next up is tackle Christian Jones.
2024 Christian Jones stats, season
Jones was a rookie in 2024, drafted in the fifth round out of Texas.
He began the season on injured reserve, missing the first seven games with an ankle injury.
After he was activated, he was inactive as a healthy scratch for the next eight games. He was active for the final two games and started at right tackle in the season finale after tackles Paris Johnson, Jonah Williams and Jackson Barton finished the year on injured reserve.
He played 74 offensive snaps on the season. He was penalized twice but both were either declined or offsetting. He did not allow a sack or a pressure in his limited playing time.
2025 contract status
Jones enters the second year of his rookie contract. He will earn $960,000 in salary and count $1.04 million against the salary cap.
Outlook for 2025
Jones, depending on what happens in free agency and the draft, could be in line to be the Cardinals' backup swing tackle in 2025.
Is he a lock to make the team? Probably not, but if the Cardinals do not re-sign Kelvin Beachum or sign another veteran tackle, we can probably view that as Jones being a possible favorite to make the roster.

Notable NFL stars who are off the field as training camp arrives
NFL training camp has finally arrived, which means we are that much closer to football season. However, for at least a few players, the season may be delayed. It is hardly uncommon for players to sit out of training camp in the wake of contract negotiations, as players do not want to risk injury in practice before getting their bag. It's worked for some (Darrelle Revis), while others (Le'Veon Bell and Haason Reddick) lost their gamble. Some situations are more complicated than others, but we compiled a list of several players off the practice field as they eye new contracts. Parsons is currently claiming that back tightness is the reason he is not practicing, but he did tell Fox News Digital earlier this year that he would likely hold out without a new deal — which he still does not have. His 52.5 career sacks are the sixth-most by any player in his first four seasons, and he finished second, second and third in the Defensive Player of the Year voting in each of his first three years. It is safe to say he deserves to break the bank. However, instead of signing a deal, he and owner Jerry Jones have taken shots at one another in the last couple of days. McLaurin signed a three-year extension reportedly worth over $68 million prior to the 2022 season that kicked off in 2023. Now, with one year remaining on that deal, and arguably the best season of his career, McLaurin is holding out for a new deal. It's a rather inopportune time for McLaurin to hold out, as the Washington Commanders want to avoid a sophomore slump with Jayden Daniels. However, McLaurin, who turns 30 on Sept. 15, just racked up a career-high 13 touchdowns to go along with his fifth-consecutive 1,000-yard season. The Cincinnati Bengals and their star defensive end have been at a standstill. Hendrickson skipped all the Bengals offseason activities leading up to the start of training camp. The 30-year-old earned First-team All-Pro honors after his NFL-leading 17.5 sacks last season. But he recently said the Bengals have been silent regarding a new deal, and Hendrickson has said he will not play under his current contract. This season marks the final year of Hendrickson's deal. Hendrickson turned 30 in December, has been with Cincinnati since 2021 and has been an absolute steal for them. He spent his first four seasons with the New Orleans Saints but failed to put up numbers until his final season there, recording a career-high at the time of 13.5 sacks after just 6.5 in his first three NFL seasons. Make that two edge rushers that the Bengals won't sign — this one being the 17th pick of this past April's draft. The Bengals are reportedly trying to change the way their first-round rookie contracts are done, which would allow the team to void future guarantees. The contract battle has resulted in a war of words between the two sides. Not exactly a great start to the career. Stewart did not participate in mandatory minicamp last month, either. Like Parsons, Anzalone is dealing with an injury, but he has been vocal about wanting a new deal, as well. "I want to retire a Lion. I want that opportunity. That's how I feel. I'm disappointed. Let's just say that," Anzalone said on Tuesday morning when asked about a potential new deal with his Detroit Lions, via Anzalone is currently entering the final year of an $18.3 million deal with Detroit, whom he has spent the last four seasons with.

Seeking to learn, Puka Nacua asks Davante Adams to lead the LA Rams' receiving drills
LOS ANGELES — Although Puka Nacua is one of the NFL's top receivers as he heads into his third season with the Los Angeles Rams, he thinks he still has plenty to learn from the new teammate wearing his old uniform number. Nacua was full of praise and admiration for Davante Adams after just one practice in training camp at Loyola Marymount University on Wednesday. Nacua is determined to soak up the techniques and teachings of the six-time Pro Bowl selection who joined the Rams as a replacement for Cooper Kupp in the spring.
