Raiders Release Cornerback Jack Jones After Failed Trade Efforts

The decision reflects a strategic shift under new head coach Pete Carroll, leaving the Raiders with a depleted cornerback roster.

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.
