Raiders News: Ex-Steelers, Jaguars QB Landry Jones Agrees to Contract

The Oakland Raiders announced Tuesday the signing of free-agent quarterback Landry Jones, who will fight for a backup spot behind Derek Carr.

The Raiders currently have four quarterbacks on the roster—Carr, Jones, Mike Glennon and Nathan Peterman.

It's also possible the Raiders could add to the quarterback room in the NFL draft—head coach Jon Gruden told Jim Trotter of NFL.com that the team would meet with Oklahoma's Kyler Murray and Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins this week and wouldn't "look past" anybody in their draft preparation—but Carr remains the team's starter.

"I've got a lot of confidence in Carr. What he can do with Antonio Brown, with Tyrell Williams, with Trent Brown coming in here to help our offensive line, with a better defense," Gruden told Trotter. "Yeah, I'm excited about Carr."

Gruden also spoke about the addition of Jones.

"Landry Jones is a guy that's started and won games in the league," he told reporters, per Matt Schneidman of the Mercury News. "He can help us with Antonio's transition as well. 'What'd they call this in Pittsburgh? Why did he convert his route and do that?' So there are some really interesting side things that Landry can bring to the table also."

Jones, 29, has appeared in 19 games in his career, throwing for 1,310 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions as Ben Roethlisberger's backup in Pittsburgh between 2013-17. He had a cup of coffee with the Jacksonville Jaguars last year but was cut in November and didn't appear in any games.
