The Carolina Panthers have signed veteran linebacker Deion Jones after working him out in Spartanburg this afternoon. They also waived third-year defensive tackle Bravvion Roy this morning. Roy’s waiver was followed by a quick signing of defensive lineman LaBryan Ray, so the team still needs to make a corresponding roster move to offset the Jones signing and keep their total roster count at 90 players.
Deion Jones
Jones is a former Atlanta Falcons standout who was traded from their injured reserve to the Cleveland Browns for minimal compensation last season. He was originally on IR in Atlanta coming off of an offseason shoulder injury, but recovered enough to appear in 11 games for the Browns.
