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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could land in Carolina
Jones seems likely to sign with the Panthers after working out for the team Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker played 11 games for the Browns in 2022 and recorded just 44 tackles after missing the beginning of the season due to shoulder surgery, but Jones consistently reached triple-digit tackles before that over his six seasons with the Falcons. He would provide additional depth in the middle of the Carolina defense alongside Shaq Thompson and Frankie Luvu.

There’s speculation that Atlanta might cut Jones, but it would be a tanking move given that the
Falcons are among the league leaders in cap space. They could choose to do just that, but
even so Jones would likely get picked up for a three-down role by another team. More than his
contract, the concern to monitor is Jones’ surgically repaired shoulder, which is expected to
keep him inactive until training camp.
