Deion Jones Released by San Francisco 49ers, Becomes Free Agent

Deion Jones, a former standout linebacker at LSU, has become a free agent following his release by the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday as part of the team's final roster cuts.

Jones, who had recently joined the 49ers in a trade from the New Orleans Saints, played under defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, a former coach during his time in Atlanta. His brief stint in San Francisco ended as the team finalized its 53-man roster.

During his college career at LSU from 2012 to 2015, Jones established himself as a key defender, recording significant statistics that led to his selection in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. Over ten seasons in the NFL, he has played in 128 regular-season games, accumulating impressive career totals. As he becomes available to other teams, his experience and track record may attract interest from clubs looking for veteran linebacker talent.
