Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
Atlanta moved down two spots from No. 50 to No. 52 and added Houston's sixth-round pick at No. 195. The Falcons selected linebacker Deion Jones and guard Wes Schweitzer, turning the modest slide into two future starters. Jones became a Pro Bowl defender and a central piece of Atlanta's 2016 Super Bowl team, while Schweitzer developed into a multi-year starter. Houston used No. 50 on center Nick Martin, a solid long-term starter, but Atlanta created more total value.
Trade 2 of 3
Cleveland acquired linebacker Deion Jones and a 2024 seventh-round pick from Atlanta for a 2024 sixth. Jones played 11 games with five starts in 2022, recording 44 tackles, 2.5 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble while injuries hit Cleveland's linebacker room. Atlanta used pick No. 197 on Zion Logue, who was waived before the 2024 regular season. Cleveland received the more useful football return, though the stakes were modest.
Trade 3 of 3
San Francisco acquired linebacker Deion Jones from New Orleans for running back Zamir White in a late-August player-for-player exchange. The 49ers released Jones on August 30 before he made the initial 53-man roster, while New Orleans terminated White's contract the same day. No draft capital was reported in the swap, and neither acquiring club received regular-season roster value from the player it obtained.
