On Monday, the Detroit Lions announced they had released both linebacker Christian Jones and center Russell Bodine. Jones had been a prominent player on the Lions’ defense for the past three years, starting 42 of 48 games over that time and tallying 177 tackles over that time.
Though many fans believed this was the right move to make, Jones took to Instagram on Monday evening to thank the Lions and thank the fans for the past three years of his career.
“Thank you @detroitlionsnfl for the last three years,” Jones said via an Instagram caption.
