Heading to Carolina
Jones (knee) is in line to sign a two-year contract worth up to $20 million with the Panthers, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones recorded a career-best stat line across the board in 15 regular-season games with the Vikings in 2024, with 39 tackles (19 solo), including 7.0 sacks, plus one forced fumble. He battled a knee injury down the stretch and missed the final two games of the year, but Jones figures to be healthy for the start of Carolina's offseason activities. The 2021 third-round pick looks primed to contribute as a rotational pass rusher with his new team.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Tabbed to replace Clowney
The Panthers released Jadeveon Clowney with the intention of Jones replacing him, David Newton of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Panthers signed Jones to a two-year deal worth up to $20 million this offseason despite him never having played a full-time defensive role in four years with the Vikings. Carolina also invested a second-round pick in Nick Scourton and a third-round selection in Princely Umanmielen in the 2025 NFL Draft, however, and all three edge rushers will complete for snaps opposite D.J. Wonnum, who is dealing with a back issue in OTAs.
