2026 Outlook
Veteran linebacker Deion Jones was traded to the 49ers from the Saints on August 24, 2026, in exchange for running back Zamir White. Jones joins his seventh NFL team after a one-game preseason stint in New Orleans. A Pro Bowler in 2017 with the Falcons, Jones now provides veteran depth and rotation flexibility for San Francisco's linebacker corps. His role will depend on health and availability; the trade suggests the 49ers view him as depth insurance given the injury concerns facing linebackers Fred Warner and others.
