According to a Niners Nation report, the San Francisco 49ers have traded safety Colin Jones -- who played mostly on special teams -- to the Carolina Panthers on Friday for a seventh round pick:
The 49ers drafted him in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft and he quickly proved himself as a special teams force. He was listed as a safety, but saw no time there last year, and was pretty far down the depth chart this year.
Jones is a native of Bridgeport, Texas and played his college ball at TCU where he was named to the All-Mountain West Second Team in 2010. For his NFL career, the 24-year-old has appeared in 13 games and has registered just six tackles.
