The Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> over the weekend released defensive end Chandler Jones<\/a> from his contract, according to a news report. He was arrested Thursday for allegedly violating a temporary domestic violence<\/a> protective order in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

His recent actions demonstrated conduct detrimental to the football team, ESPN <\/em>reported.<\/p>\n

Releasing a player generally means their contract is immediately terminated. They can sign a contract with another pro team, according to sports news site Diario AS<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jones, 33, was signed to a three-year, $51 million contract with the Raiders in 2022.<\/p>\n

He had not played in regular games this season. On September 20, he was placed on the team\u2019s non-football injury\/illness list.<\/p>\n

Last month, he lashed out at team officials and others in rambling social media posts. He was seen crying and used obscenities in the rants, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The team apparently sent a health professional to his residence last month. She was identified by Jones as Dr. Heather Thanepohn, according to the Bleacher Report<\/em>.<\/p>\n

She told him he was \u201cin danger,\u201d the report added. Las Vegas Fire Department EMTs then reportedly transported him to get evaluated.<\/p>\n

He was later taken to a hospital for emotional issues and was prescribed medication, according to news reports.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t want to be at the hospital, the reports added. Nor did he want the medications.<\/p>\n

I haven’t done anything wrong. The police said people were concerned about me because of my posts online,\u201d<\/strong> Jones posted on social media, USA Today<\/em> reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Following his arrest, Jones was booked at the Clark County Detention Center<\/a>, according to TMZ Sports<\/em>. He posted bond on Friday. He\u2019s scheduled to appear in local court on December 4.<\/p>\n

Raiders Head Coach Josh McDaniels<\/a> wouldn\u2019t talk about Jones\u2019s situation during a Friday press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing changed on our end in terms of, you know, the status and everything else,\u201d McDaniels said. \u201cHe\u2019s where he is. I\u2019m not up to speed on everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Private Matter<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe Raiders are hopeful that Chandler Jones receives the care that he needs. He, his family, and all those involved are in our thoughts,\u201d the team added in a recent statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. \u201cAs this is now a legal matter, we will not be providing further comment.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDaniels previously called the incidents with Jones a \u201cprivate matter\u201d and a \u201cpersonal situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, former Washington Commanders quarterback\u00a0Robert Griffin III\u00a0asked the public to pray for Jones.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s all pray for Chandler Jones and his family,”<\/strong> Griffin posted on X. “I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on with him right now, but after everything I have seen I do know he needs to feel like he is being heard in this moment. I reached out to him and encourage all of his NFL brothers to do the same.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prior Teams<\/h2>\n

Jones played college football at Syracuse University. He was later selected by the New England Patriots in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He also played for the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
