Summary

- Jones, 34, had 3.0 sacks in 12 games last season.
- He could sign a one-year deal worth around $16 million.
The Atlanta Falcons are exploring options to bolster their defensive line, with veteran DaQuan Jones emerging as a potential target. Jones, 34, concluded the 2025 season with the Buffalo Bills, recording 22 tackles and 3.0 sacks in 12 games played.
Despite a midseason calf injury, Jones demonstrated his impact with 21 pressures, three tackles for loss, two passes defended, an interception, and a forced fumble. His extensive career includes 167 professional games, allowing him to rotate effectively across multiple defensive line positions.
Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 322 pounds, Jones offers a compelling combination of size and athleticism. His previous contract was a two-year, $16 million deal with $10.5 million guaranteed. The Falcons could potentially sign him to a one-year agreement at a similar value, providing immediate talent and experience to their defensive front.
