Overview

  • The Las Vegas Raiders have officially released cornerback Jack Jones after being unable to find a trade partner, NFL Network first reported.
  • Jones played 24 games for the Raiders after being claimed off waivers from the Patriots in 2023, showcasing playmaking skills but struggling with consistency and discipline.
  • New head coach Pete Carroll's arrival has prompted a roster overhaul, with the team prioritizing younger talent and addressing weaknesses in the secondary.
  • Jones' performance in 2024 included three interceptions and 16 passes defended but also significant defensive lapses, including allowing nine touchdowns and missing 15 tackles.
