Deion Jones News
The Carolina Panthers released linebacker Deion Jones on Tuesday, according to a league source. Jones wasn't able to do enough this summer in training camp and the preseason after latching on with Carolina on a one-year deal in late July. He should be able to find work elsewhere for the 2023 regular season, but the 28-year-old just has fallen off since he was a Pro Bowler in his second NFL campaign with the Atlanta Falcons back in 2017. The former second-rounder in 2016 by the Falcons out of LSU has recorded 100-plus total tackles in five of his seven seasons. In 11 games (five starts) for the Cleveland Browns last year, Jones had 44 tackles (25 solo), 2.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, an interception and a forced fumble.
Former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers on Monday, according to a source. Jones worked out with the team at training camp earlier on Monday and will return to the NFC South after spending the 2022 season with the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old made his only Pro Bowl in his second year in the league in 2017 with the Falcons and was once considered a premier linebacker after posting 100-plus total tackles in five of his first six seasons. Last year, he was only able to play in 11 games (five starts) for Cleveland due to a shoulder injury and finished with 44 tackles (25 solo), 2.5 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble. Jones is off the IDP radar after a decreased role last year, but he could carve out more playing time in Carolina in 2023.
The Carolina Panthers are set to work out free-agent linebacker Deion Jones after training camp practice on Monday, according to a source. Jones could be a potential depth addition for Carolina's defense after he played for the Cleveland Browns in 2022 after becoming a Pro Bowler with the Atlanta Falcons. The 28-year-old also met with the New York Giants back in April. He opened last year on Injured Reserve with the Falcons and was then dealt to the Browns, finishing the year with 44 tackles (25 solo), 2.5 sacks an interception and a forced fumble in 11 games (five starts). Jones was a Pro Bowler in 2017 and has five seasons of 100-plus combined tackles, but he's unlikely to become an option in IDP formats in a depth role if he signs with the Panthers.
