The New York Giants are continuing to add role players on low-cost, one-year contracts. The latest is linebacker Cam Jones, formerly of the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets, who is reportedly signing with the Giants.
Jones, who turns 27 in October, signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2023. He played in every game for two seasons with Kansas City, mostly on special teams.
The Jets claimed the 6-foot-2, 227-pound Jones on waivers last August. He played in 10 games, getting just four
defensive snaps but playing in 62% of the team’s special teams snaps before going on injured reserve.
In his career, Jones has played 165 defensiv snaps and 737 special teams snaps.
The Giants have Tremaine Edmunds and Micah McFadden as their current starting linebackers Before the signing of Jones, Darius Muasau was the only true backup inside linebacker on the roster.
Over The Cap currently lists the Giants with just $3.135 million in cap space. Without making moves to create additional space, this is the type of move the Giants are likely to continue to make.
