Game-wrecking player who had 47 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 9 TFLs and 10 QB hits in 13 games for the #Broncos last season. Jones is only 26 years old. Massive get.
Jones had 6.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, and 10 quarterback hits in 13 games with the Denver Broncos in 2022.
The former third-round pick has amassed 22 sacks, 28 tackles for loss, and 38 quarterback hits since entering the league in the 2019 NFL Draft. He's also picked off one pass and forced a pair of fumbles in his 56 career games.
The 26-year-old was widely considered to be a candidate for the franchise tag with the Broncos but finds himself joining the team that sent Russell Wilson to Denver last offseason.
