Deion Jones

The Carolina Panthers have released LB Deion Jones.

Fantasy Impact

Jones was added by the Panthers in late July, but is part of the initial cuts to get to their 53-man roster. The 28-year-old tallied 44 tackles and one interception in 11 games with Atlanta and Cleveland last season. The veteran could have a market for a team in need of depth at linebacker.

Deion Jones has signed a one-year contract with the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

Deion Jones is working out for Carolina Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Jones played in 11 games with Cleveland last season, tallying 44 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and one interception. The former second-round pick has played in 96 career games since entering the league in 2016 and will look to join a team prior to the start of the 2023 season.

The Cleveland Browns have designated linebacker Deion Jones to return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

The Browns now have a 21-day window to activate Jones, though the activation is expected to come as soon as he proves he is game-ready conditioning-wise. Jones should start out behind Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and Jacob Phillips but could eventually supplant Phillips. Sione Takitaki will lose his deep league appeal once Jones starts logging regular snaps.

The Atlanta Falcons traded LB Deion Jones to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for late-round draft compensation.

Fantasy Impact

The Browns add a piece to their defense who should provide excellent linebacker depth once Jones returns from IR. Jones should in fit nicely in a defense that has allowed 25 points per game so far this season. Jones has yet to play this season after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery.
