ALAMEDA, Calif. – The Oakland Raiders have signed unrestricted free agent QB Landry Jones, the club announced Tuesday.
Originally a fourth-round selection (115th overall) by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2013 NFL Draft, Landry spent his first five years with the Steelers as the club's backup quarterback. Over his career, Landry has appeared in 18 games and made five starts, completing 108-of-169 pass attempts for 1,310 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions for a passer rating of 86.2.
Last season, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound product out of Oklahoma joined the Jacksonville Jaguars for a short stint with the team before being released in November. He did not appear in game action in 2018.
A native of Artesia, N.M., Landry started in 50-of-52 games during his four years (2009-12) with the Sooners. He set Big 12 Conference records in completions (1,388), passing yards (16,646) and touchdown passes (123), while his career passing yards ranked third in NCAA lore at the time he left Oklahoma. As a senior in 2012, he earned All-Big 12 second-team honors in addition to winning the Sammy Baugh Award in 2010, an award given annually to the nation's top collegiate passer.
