Jones was traded from the Saints to the 49ers in exchange for running back Zamir White on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Jones signed a one-year deal with New Orleans on Aug. 7, but he'll now join the 49ers ahead of the 2026 campaign. The linebacker played in all 17 regular-season games with the Buccaneers in 2025, recording 29 total tackles (16 solo) while operating primarily as a special-teams asset. Jones will provide San Francisco with an additional veteran depth option at inside linebacker behind starters Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw this year.
