Jets have been in the market for linebacker help in the weeks following the 2022 NFL Draft, and one former Pro Bowler, Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones, could pique their interest.
Jones has seen his stock plummet over the last few years and now seems unlikely to play another game in a Falcons uniform. The Athletic's Jeff Schultz reported on Tuesday that Jones' departure from Atlanta was "imminent," whether via trade or an outright release.
While Schultz didn't mention any potential landing spots, the folks over at uSTADIUM identified the Jets and Cowboys as two teams to watch.
The logic behind this claim was the presence of two of Jones' former coaches, Dan Quinn and Jeff Ulbrich, on either team. Jones played the best football of his career under their tutelage and could really use a change of scenery.
