Zay Jones traded by Bills to Raiders for 5th-round pick
Zay Jones was hardly a factor for the Buffalo Bills this season, and they decided to part ways with him.
The Bills on Monday traded Jones to the Oakland Raiders for a 2021 fifth-round pick, according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.

Jones was the No. 37 overall pick by the Bills in 2017 but did not have a major impact on the club. He had 56 catches for 652 yards and seven touchdowns last season — all career-high numbers. This season he had just seven catches for 69 yards in five games.
The emergence of Duke Williams helped make Jones expendable for Buffalo. The Raiders may have decided to add Jones because of the foot injury with which Tyrell Williams is dealing.
