Jones has not been with the Raiders this season due to off-field issues. He was arrested Friday for violating a temporary restraining order. He had posted a concerning video on social media just a day before his arrest. Before the season, he took aim at the Raiders in a concerning tirade, which prompted the team to keep him away for the start of the year.
The 33-year-old pass rusher had 4.5 sacks in 15 games for the Raiders last season. He had spent the last six seasons before that with the Arizona Cardinals, where he collected 71.5 sacks in 84 games.
