Chiefs Reunite With Veteran Linebacker
The Kansas City Chiefs are bringing back a linebacker who began his NFL career with them.
The Kansas City Chiefs have reacquired veteran linebacker Cam Jones, adding him to their defensive lineup. On Wednesday, the team announced that they had signed Jones and waived defensive end Anthony Dunn as part of the deal. Jones, 26, began his professional NFL career as an undrafted free agent out of the 2023 draft. He played in all 17 games for the Chiefs in both 2023 and 2024, recording a total of 36 tackles and contributing to their Super Bowl LVIII victory.
After being waived by the New York Jets due to a hip injury, Jones briefly signed with the New York Giants before being waived by them as well, allowing him to reunite with the Chiefs. Jones will face a challenge to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster this season, as he is joining a competitive linebacker room that already includes Drue Tranquill, Nick Bolton, Cole Christiansen, and Jack Cochrane.
Jones, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, played college football at Indiana, where he amassed 207 tackles, seven sacks, four forced fumbles, nine pass deflections, two interceptions, and one touchdown from 2018 to 2022.
