The 6 foot 2, 245-pound Jones was selected by Pittsburgh with the 17th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. He has recorded six sacks, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and two interceptions in 50 games (35 starts) as a pro. He notched 30 tackles and a sack in 14 games last season.

On Friday, the Cardinals signed linebacker Karlos Dansby to a one-year contract, making him the first player in franchise history to have three separate stints with the team.
The Cards essentially gained a linebacker and lost a linebacker on Tuesday, as free agent Alex Okafor agreed to a contract with the New Orleans Saints earlier in the day.
