Carolina Panthers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones signed a two-year deal worth up to $20 million with the Panthers in March after posting a career year with the Vikings in 2024. The 26-year-old set new personal bests in total tackles (39), sacks (7.0) and forced fumbles (one), despite starting just one time over 15 appearances. In Carolina, Jones likely will serve as the team's top rotational edge rusher, providing much-needed depth to a Panthers defense that ranked 30th in sacks last season. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Tabbed to replace Clowney
LBCarolina Panthers
May 27, 2025
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.
