The Chargers decided to part ways with Jones on Saturday ahead of the league’s deadline of 4:00 pm ET to have their rosters down to 53 players. A decision whether or not to keep fifth-round pick Easton Stick remains to be seen.
Jones has managed to hang around the organization despite never being better than a third-string quarterback. He spent the 2018 season on the practice squad and after the Chargers signed Tyrod Taylor this offseason and then drafted Stick, the writing seemed to be on the wall.
Many fans wondered aloud as to why Jones wasn’t released months ago.
