Who?

 

[The Natural]

This guy is a real baller too folks. 6 years in the league, 32 total tackles and 1.5 sacks.

 

[Plankton]

Not sure that he was worth anything in a trade. 5 year player with 1.5 career sacks. Was an OLB in 3-4 defenses with Kansas City and Baltimore.

from his wiki-

Baltimore Ravens
Jones was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2007. He filled a number of different roles as a Raven, including outside linebacker,defensive end, and tight end. His biggest contributions, however, came on special teams, where he established himself as one of their top special teams tacklers and blockers.

Kansas City Chiefs
Jones signed with the Kansas City Chiefs on July 29, 2012. He became one of the team's most valuable special teams players, leading the Chiefs with seven tackles and two fumbles recoveries on special teams, including one returned for his first NFL touchdown at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct. 14, 2012.

He might be one of those guys that plays better going forward than backwards, and so is a better DE than OLB.

sigh,another spot gone to a ST guy,this is not how you construct a 53 roster.

We traded for a special teams player?

ST players are important considerations on any roster, but I can honestly say I do not understand trading for one at the final cuts.

He will be depth that plays on special teams. All franchises have them in case you haven't noticed.

This must be why they wanted him. Can't be because of his (lack of) production on defense.

The missing piece.

Now sit back and enjoy all the winning.
