FOXBORO, Mass. — Jack Jones didn’t leave a strong impression on Bill Belichick, but the embattled corner clearly was well-liked inside the Patriots locker room.
After Jones was released early last week, New England defensive captain Deatrich Wise said he was “hurt” by the move and “always would root” for the 25-year-old, who now is with the Raiders. And safety Jabrill Peppers, who’s close with Jones, shared similar comments Wednesday when asked whether he had a message for the 2022 fourth-round pick.
“I think, the Raiders picked him up, that was the best thing for him,” Peppers said of Jones, who played for Las Vegas interim head coach Antonio Pierce in high school and college.
