Overview

  • The Las Vegas Raiders officially released cornerback Jack Jones on April 6, 2025, after unsuccessful attempts to trade him.
  • Jones' release is part of a broader shift in team strategy following the hiring of head coach Pete Carroll, replacing Antonio Pierce.
  • Despite starting 16 games in 2024 and recording three interceptions, Jones struggled with inconsistent performance, penalties, and off-field issues.
  • The Raiders' cornerback depth is now significantly weakened following Jones' release and the free agency departure of Nate Hobbs to the Green Bay Packers.
  • Speculation suggests teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers could consider signing Jones, who is now a free agent.
