Jones has only played in three games since signing a three-year, $30 million contract in 2024.
He suffered a season-ending triceps injury last season in Week 3 and didn't play again, so in two seasons, Jones played in three games, logging four tackles, a tackle for loss, a quarterback hit and a tipped pass.
He had not missed a game in the two season prior to signing with Arizona.
He has no guaranteed salary left on his deal. He was paid $20.75 million over two years for three games.
His contract will carry a hit of $3.3 million in dead money in 2026.
