Raiders star Chandler Jones continued his troubling social media activity Thursday morning with a lengthy video post where he could be seen stating Aaron Hernandez did not kill himself before he started to cry uncontrollably.
“Y’all don’t know what Josh McDaniels really did to Aaron Hernandez. … Y’all thought Aaron Hernandez killed himself in jail,” Jones said, breaking down and then cutting off the stream.
Jones and Hernandez were Patriots teammates while McDaniels was the team’s offensive coordinator. Hernandez killed himself in prison in 2017 after being convicted of murder.
In the meantime, former Raiders WR Antonio Brown, who never played a game for the franchise, thinks he can bring everybody together and get Jones back on the field because the star defensive end has “presidential bloodline of Geechy.”

Jones has gone on a series of rants both on X and Instagram in recent weeks as he has been away from the Raiders for the entirety of the season so far. Most recently, Jones claimed he was forced into a mental hospital and injected with an unknown substance by the Las Vegas Fire Department.
Jones made the claims in several social media posts and named several Raiders executives, including owner Mark Davis, general manager Dave Ziegler, and head coach Josh McDaniels.
The 33-year-old Jones has not played this season after being placed on the non-football illness list last week.
What seemingly started as a dispute between player and team with him complaining about a lack of gym access earlier this month has morphed into something quite dark.
Jones is an 11-year veteran who previously played for the Cardinals and Raiders.
Back in 2019, Antonio Brown’s Raiders career ended with zero games played, as the franchise released him over his bizarre behavior. Everything went bad at the start of training camp when he reported with frostbitten feet from failing to wear proper footwear in a cryotherapy chamber.
He left camp midway through practice and filed a grievance with the league over his banned Schutt Air Advantage helmet. He would lose.
Many run-ins with the GM Mike Mayock and the coaching staff ended all hope of things ever being normal with the WR on the team and he was eventually cut.
