Chandler Jones Visits Cardinals Facility
ARIZONA -- Former Arizona Cardinals edge rusher Chandler Jones was briefly spotted at the team's facility today in Tempe.
Jones recorded himself on Instagram live around noon local time driving to where he used to practice for years before he was ultimately released after the 2021 season.
It's unknown if the trip was planned, as he said, "At my old job! I'm stopping by, I don't care, I'm stopping by," before pulling into the parking lot with another person.
Part of the 3:32 video (NSFW warning due to language four seconds in):
"If ya'll know me, you know I love the Cardinals... I just wanna say hi to my people," said Jones before flipping the camera to the team's watermark/logo on the wall. "They used to tell the fans all the time, 'You can't be here!' Well, I'm an ex-worker. Hopefully I don't get arrested."
Jones made a comment regarding owner Michael Bidwill before entering the front office with a handful of Cardinals staffers. He briefly said hi to a couple familiar faces before departing.
"I just wanted to say hi to you guys. Just you two. God bless you guys! God bless you, I'll see you," Jones said.
"I miss this place. They said God bless me back, maybe they like me here," before telling a passing employee hello.
"Maybe they like me here still. That would be cool if they did."
Jones ended the video shortly after, which is still available on his profile.
Jones is back in Arizona, though it's unknown the amount of time he's been away from his Las Vegas residence.
He recently had a run-in with local police according to TMZ:
"According to TMZ Sports, Jones was at his Arizona home when the police confronted him. As we mentioned earlier, he was handcuffed for violating protective orders. He did so twice, with the first instance involving him going to a woman's home, stealing furniture, and setting ablaze in his yard." (h/t hotnewhiphop.com)
Jones was released from the Raiders on Sept. 30. He will turn 34-years-old in February.
