Jones did not play last season.

He played in 2021 and 2020 for the Dolphins.

Recently, Jones tweeted that he “can’t run or jump because of my injuries sustained playing this game.”

Jones, 30, added “It was an honor and privilege to play in the NFL but it came at a regrettable cost I did not foresee.”

Schefter added that by designating him a post-June 1 cut, the Dolphins will save $13.6 million against the salary cap.
