Browns swap picks with Falcons for LB Deion Jones

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns have acquired linebacker Deion Jones in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons.

The Browns traded their 2024 sixth-round draft pick to the Falcons in exchange for Jones and the Falcons' 2024 seventh-round selection.

Jones, who made the Pro Bowl in 2017, should help bolster Cleveland's linebacking corps, which has struggled since losing Anthony Walker to a season-ending quad tear in Week 2.

The Browns have surrendered more than 200 yards rushing the past two weeks, including 238 in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
