Deion Jones, Browns agreed to adjust contract when trade occurred

The Cleveland Browns have two more weeks to activate LB Deion Jones off the injured reserve list. The Browns are hopeful that Jones can make an impact on the second level after acquiring him in a trade from the Atlanta Falcons.

Jones’ contract was interesting as the Falcons made an adjustment to help make him more tradeable this year. In the end, Cleveland will pay a little over $1 million for Jones’ services this year while Atlanta ending up paying a bonus payment in early September.
