Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones, entering the second year of the three-year, $51 million free agent contract he signed with the team last year, is apparently upset with the franchise.
Jones took to social media Tuesday morning to air his complaints about, among other things, not being allowed into the team's facility to work out over the weekend.
"F--- IT. I DON'T WANNA PLAY FOR THE RAIDERS IF THAT'S MY HC, OR GM...I WANT PATRICK GRAHAM IVY LEAGUE N---A," Jones posted on his since-deleted Instagram story, referencing head coach Josh McDaniels, general manager Dave Ziegler and Graham, the Raiders' defensive coordinator.
Those posts were much different from what Jones wrote on X, formerly Twitter, a day earlier, saying he "can't wait to play this year! Feelin great in practice!"
Chandler Jones also posted a picture of a text message he sent to who appears to be McDaniels, saying, "It's a shame that I am a top athlete with 112 sacks in the NFL and I have to go to a local gym to work out during the season for no apparent reason this is wild to me Josh and you know it you need to do what's right."
As we previously mentioned, the 33-year-old pass rusher ended up deleting these social media posts. Jones appeared excited for the start of the season Monday, posting on X, "Year 12! LFG!" and "Can't wait to play this year! Feelin great in practice!"
In a series of since deleted posts to his Instagram story, Jones shared screenshots of text messages that appear to be addressed to head coach Josh McDaniels asking if the team brought him to Vegas to “play with me” and saying it is not right to make him work out at a local gym rather than at the team’s facility. In other posts, Jones wrote that the team is trying to “provoke” him by barring him from the facility and claims that someone from the team reached out to the mother of his child despite the lack of a current relationship between him and the woman.
Jones continued by saying he wants to speak to Antonio Brown and Aldon Smith about their problems with the Raiders and suggesting that he isn’t interested in playing for McDaniels or General Manager Dave Ziegler.
