Bizarre and Tragic: Chandler Jones Cut; Troubled Las Vegas Raiders’ Last Stand Vs. Dallas Cowboys?

FRISCO -The last time Chandler Jones was truly a member in good standing of the Las Vegas Raiders was in their final preseason game in DFW against the Dallas Cowboys.

And now that the Raiders are releasing the troubled defensive end Jones, that figures to be the NFL end for a standout player … who now needs to find answers beyond football.

Jones was arrested Friday in Las Vegas after a tragic week that included multiple posts to social media alleging a series of bizarre conspiratorial accusations.

At one point, Jones insisted that his issues are due to Raiders owner Mark Davis harboring secrets about child molestation.

“Once I found out what was done to this little girl,” Jones posted, “I wasn’t allowed back in the building.”

He continued (while later claiming his account was “hacked”) …

"You can call me whatever you want, CTE, a dumb football player, dumb black man.. whatever y’all want, keyboard warriors. Meanwhile our children are getting molested. That’s why I couldn’t get a sack today. Because ppl wanted to [rape] my step daughter and not expect me to get upset.”

Jones was arrested on Friday after allegedly violating a domestic violence temporary protective order.

The Raiders said in a statement that they are "hopeful that Chandler Jones receives the care that he needs. He, his family, and all those involved are in our thoughts."

Jones, 33, has been away from the Raiders since Labor Day weekend - right after that Dallas preseason game - when he issued a series of social media posts ripping the Raiders and team owner Mark Davis and most other organizational authority figures.

The Raiders placed Jones on the non-football injury/illness list right as Jones posted on social media that he was taken to a hospital "against my will" by the Las Vegas Fire Department and later transferred to a behavioral health facility.
