Saints trade Deion Jones to 49ers for Zamir White
The New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers have completed a player trade, sending veteran linebacker Deion Jones to San Francisco in exchange for running back Zamir White.
The move addresses urgent needs for both franchises. The Saints are seeking depth in their backfield following a series of preseason injuries to key players, including Alvin Kamara, Audric Estime, and Devin Neal. White, a 26-year-old former fourth-round pick who previously played for the Las Vegas Raiders, provides immediate relief for the New Orleans roster.
For the 49ers, the acquisition of the 31-year-old Jones provides linebacker depth. Jones, a former Pro Bowler, will reunite with defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, whom he previously played under in Atlanta. The trade occurs as both teams prepare for final roster cuts ahead of the upcoming NFL season.
