49ers Cut CB Jack Jones

This comes as a corresponding move to acquiring DT DeForest Buckner from the Colts.

Jones, 28, earned an honorable mention for All-Pac-12 honors in 2021 and also received an All-Pac-12 selection in 2020. He was drafted with the No. 121 pick in the fourth round by the Patriots in the 2022 draft.

Jones signed a four-year deal worth $4,406,983 that included a signing bonus of $746,983. He was in the second year of the deal when the Patriots waived him midseason after multiple rules violations. The Raiders claimed Jones off waivers.

He was entering the final year of his rookie contract and set to make a little over $3 million for the 2025 season when the Raiders waived Jones last year. He quickly signed on with the Dolphins to close last season, and caught on with 49ers to a one-year deal last offseason. 

In 2026, Jones has appeared in seven games for the 49ers and recorded 11 tackles and three pass defenses.
