SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The Carolina Panthers on Monday agreed to a one-year deal with veteran linebacker Deion Jones to add veteran depth to their inside linebacking corps.
The 28-year-old Jones was at Wofford College on Monday for a tryout following the team's first practice in pads. He was brought in to add depth with Chandler Wooten and Kamu Grugier-Hill behind starters Shaq Thompson and Frankie Luvu.
A corresponding move has not been announced, but one must be made when the deal is signed because the roster already is at 90 players.
