Saints' Deion Jones: Gets opportunity with New Orleans
The Saints signed Jones to a one-year contract Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The move means Jones will end up playing for all four NFC teams, with his NFL career starting with the Falcons in 2016 as a second-round pick before stints with the Panthers and, most recently, the Buccaneers. He appeared in 17 regular-season games for Tampa Bay last year as a special-teams contributor and depth option on defense, finishing with 29 tackles (16 solo). Jones figures to see most of his playing time on special teams this season, and his addition gives New Orleans depth at inside linebacker behind starters Kaden Elliss and Pete Werner.

Buccaneers' Deion Jones: Elevated from practice squad
Jones is active for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
The inside linebacker will be making his debut with Tampa Bay. Jones recorded five seasons of more than 100 tackles with the Falcons between 2016 and 2021, but his snap counts and production dipped with the Browns and Panthers in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The veteran will enter Sunday as a backup to starters K.J. Britt and Lavonte David on the inside.

Bills' Deion Jones: Bolsters Buffalo's defense
Jones signed a one-year deal with the Bills on Friday, Alec White & Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
The 2016 second-rounder was an IDP factor throughout his six-year tenure with the Falcons, but over his last two campaigns, Jones' tackle totals have dipped. In 13 regular-season games with the Panthers in 2023, the 29-year-old recorded 35 tackles, including a sack, and an interception. With the Bills, the LSU product will bolster the team's linebacker depth in 2024, and a bounce-back campaign in production could be in order if Jones secures steady snaps in his new locale.

Panthers' Deion Jones: Career low in tackles
Jones finished the regular season with 35 tackles (22 solo), including one sack, and one interception on six passes defended in 13 games.
Jones joined the Panthers last offseason after spending the first six years of his career with the division-rival Falcons. The veteran's production has dipped over the past couple campaigns, however, with his 2023 tackle total marking a career low. Jones will now return to the open market as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Panthers' Deion Jones: Seven stops in loss
Jones logged seven total tackles (four solo), including one tackle for loss and 1.0 sack in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars.
The veteran inside linebacker saw his third start of the year in Week 17 and he made the most of his opportunity, tallying the most stops he's had in a game all season. Jones has primarily served as a rotational inside linebacker for Carolina, recording 31 total tackles and four pass deflections in 12 appearances. He'll look to end the Panthers' season on a more positive note in Week 18 against the Buccaneers.

Panthers' Deion Jones: Sitting out Sunday
Jones (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Vikings.
Jones' absence from the active roster for the contest is a bit of a surprise after his statistically strong Week 3 performance. He'll now work to get the opportunity to suit up Week 5 against the Lions.

Panthers' Deion Jones: Signed to active roster
Jones was signed to the Panthers' active roster Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.
Jones will join Carolina ahead of their Week 3 road matchup with the Seahawks. The linebacker will help replace Shaq Thompson (lower leg) on the Panthers defense after Thompson was placed on injured reserve for the remainder of the year with a fractured fibula Tuesday. Jones appeared in 11 games with the Browns last season, recording 44 tackles, including 2.5 sacks.

Deion Jones: Unable to secure roster spot
Jones was released by the Panthers on Tuesday.
Jones inked a one-year deal with the team in July, but he won't get the opportunity to play out that contract. The veteran linebacker spent last season with the Browns after spending the first six seasons of his career in Atlanta and was working to earn a depth role in Carolina's linebacker corps.

Panthers' Deion Jones: Finds new home
Jones signed a one-year contract with Carolina on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Jones spent the first seven seasons of his career in Atlanta before joining Cleveland for the 2022 campaign. The 28-year-old saw a decreased workload with the Browns due to a combination of a shoulder injury and a reduced role, leading to a career-low 44 tackles. He'll now have the opportunity to earn a more significant role in the Panthers' linebacker corps.
