The Los Angeles Chargers signed veteran punter Donnie Jones, the organization announced on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, P Drew Kaser was waived.
Jones tallied 1,110 punts over his career for 50,500 total yards and 44,141 net yards, which averages out to 45.5 yards per punt with a net average of 39.8. Jones has also landed 364 punts inside the 20 and has a career-long of 80 yards. He previously teamed up with Chargers kicker Caleb Sturgis while with the Eagles, serving as his holder.
