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.
