Panthers sign Patrick Jones II to supercharge pass rush

The Carolina Panthers have added a key piece to their defensive line, signing edge rusher Patrick Jones II to a two-year deal worth up to $20 million. After a standout season with the Minnesota Vikings, Jones brings much-needed pass-rushing talent to Carolina’s defensive front.

Jones, 26, enjoyed his best season last year with the Vikings, recording 7 sacks, 9 tackles for loss, and a forced fumble in 15 games. His breakout year marks him as a reliable edge rusher, capable of impacting the game in multiple ways.

Jones will reunite with former Vikings teammate D.J. Wonnum, who made a similar journey from Minnesota to Carolina after a breakout year. The two will look to form a dynamic duo on the edge, bringing depth and experience to the Panthers’ defense.
