The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have released American linebacker Jonathan Jones.

The six-foot, 225-pound defender joined the team as a free agent this offseason but dressed for only three regular-season games, recording two special teams tackles. He was a healthy scratch for seven games to start the season before being moved to the practice roster near the end of August.

The 27-year-old native of Ocoee, Fla. played for the Toronto Argonauts from 2022 to 2024 where he dressed for 36 regular-season games, recording 88 defensive tackles, 26 special teams tackles, eight sacks, three interceptions, and one forced fumble. He won two Grey Cups with the team.
