Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Jack Jones took a shot at fans of his former team on social media on Sunday as he appeared to put the past truly behind him.
Jones came on strong for the Patriots in his rookie season, recording two interceptions, including one for a touchdown during the 2022 season. In 2023, Jones was waived in the middle of the season.

The Raiders claimed Jones off waivers and in seven games, he had two interceptions which he returned for touchdowns. He had 25 tackles as well.
Jones appeared to be reacting to Mac Jones’ appearance in a Jacksonville Jaguars social media video. Mac Jones signed with the Jaguars after he was released by the Patriots.
“They said mac look happier in Jax lol it was NE it wasn’t bill NE fans,” he wrote on X, adding several thumbs down emojis, “xx1000000000000.”
He then responded to pushback from Patriots fans on Saturday.
