The New Orleans Saints have traded linebacker Deion Jones to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for running back Zamir White. This move comes as the Saints deal with injuries to several key players in their backfield, including Alvin Kamara and Keandre Miller. White, formerly with the Raiders, has struggled to find significant playing time, carrying the ball just 12 times last season. Despite the crowded running back depth chart, the Saints are looking to bolster their ranks ahead of the upcoming season amid injury concerns. White's role with the team remains uncertain as the regular season approaches.
