Former NC State Linebacker Vi Jones Added to Seahawks Practice Squad

After being released by the Seahawks yesterday, former NC State Linebacker Vi Jones was quickly added to Seattle’s Practice Squad.

Jones finished the preseason with 13 tackles for the Seahawks in 3 preseason games.

Though not a starter for NC State, Jones ranked 3rd on the Wolfpack in Tackles for Loss (8), and 2nd in Sacks (6) in 2021. The former consensus 4-star prospect out of high school, and transfer from Southern California proved that he is an NFL caliber Linebacker this preseason.

Here’s a look at Jones’ college career statistically.

Each NFL team can carry 16 players on their Practice Squad in 2022.

In case you didn’t know, being a member of an NFL Team’s Practice Squad is no slouchy job.

Practice squad players make $11,500 per week or $207,000 for 18 weeks. Veteran players with over two years of experience will make a minimum of $15,400 per week or $277,200 for 18 weeks, and a maximum of $19,900 per week or $358,200. (Link)
