The Falcons have traded linebacker Deion Jones and a 2024 seventh-round pick to the Browns in exchange for a 2024 sixth-round pick, the team announced.
Jones, who was a regular starter for the Falcons last season, recorded 137 tackles, which was just one shy of a tying a career-best mark.
The 27-year-old Jones is in his seventh year in the league, but has not yet played this season while he recovers from an offseason shoulder injury.
Jones is in the third year of a four-year, $57 million contract that represented the highest cap hit on the Falcons’ payroll at $20 million.
The Browns sit at 2–3 after a 30–28 home loss to the Chargers on Sunday. In the defeat, the Browns allowed 238 rushing yards. The Browns surely are hoping the presence of Jones in the middle of the defense helps address the team’s issues against the run game over the final 12 games of the season.
