He's no longer needed for the Seattle Seahawks.

With the emergence of young talent, he's no longer needed for Seattle.

Jones only appeared in three games for the Seahawks this season, and he's currently dealing with a groin injury that sidelined him for Week 8 against the New York Giants. 

The sixth-year cornerback will likely look for a new opportunity elsewhere once he's healthy. 

A former 2nd-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, Jones has recorded 147 total tackles (112 solo), four interceptions and 29 passes defended over 50 career games.
