‘Not About Money At All’: Chandler Jones Clears the Air About His NFL Future Ahead of Hitting Free Agency
Follow Us
Arizona Cardinals starting outside linebacker Chandler Jones is set to hit free agency next week. After a decade in the league, this will be his first time as a free agent in the league. However, he is doing so because he wants to explore more options at this point in his career as he never had a chance to do so.
The former teammate of Tom Brady and four-time Pro Bowler is on the lookout for opportunities outside Atlanta. He has been a great player. His fourth Pro Bowl came in 2021 when he recorded 10.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 26 QB hits, and six forced fumbles.

The one-time Super Bowl champion was drafted by the New England Patriots in the 2012 NFL Draft. He spent his first four years in the league with the Patriots before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals in 2016. He was placed in the franchise tag in 2017 and he ended up signing a five-year deal that is set to expire this year.

“To be completely honest, it’s not about money at all,” Jones said in The NFL Players Podcast. “Where I am in my career, I’ve gotten contracts, I’ve gotten the Super Bowl, but I think scheme is huge. Or for me, winning more championships. I’ll say it again, it’s not about money. I will say I want to go to a place that maximizes my talents.”
