The Facts:
The Raiders still think they have a football player in Jones. They just don't think he's a running back. GM Reggie McKenzie said Friday, according to ESPN's Bill Williamson, that Jones will be moved to cornerback for the 2013 season. McKenzie said the move best fits Jones' "skill set."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The move had been speculated for some time, and Jones said in early December he was open to a position switch if it meant more playing time. It makes sense. Jones is fourth on the Raiders' depth chart at running back and has just 22 carries over two seasons. Though the Raiders had their hopes, Jones never emerged as a Darren Sproles-like complement to Darren McFadden. Jones has experience at cornerback and he was unable to move up the depth chart during a season in which the Raiders were hit by injuries in the backfield and finished 28th in rushing.
