Packers sign Jones, McMahon

Published January 13, 2015

The Green Bay Packers have signed defensive end Datone Jones and safety Ryan McMahon.

Jones was selected by the Packers with the 26th overall pick in April's draft. As a senior at UCLA in 2012, Jones registered a career-high 62 tackles and a career-best 6 1/2 sacks.

McMahon, a rookie out of Sacramento State, participated in the Packers' rookie orientation camp on a tryout basis in May. He transferred to Sacramento State after beginning his career at Southern California (2008-10).

The 5-foot-11, 210-pound safety started 22 consecutive games over his final two seasons for the Hornets, ending with 183 tackles, 11 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and an interception.
