“It wasn’t our day today,” Jones said after the Jaguars lost to the Detroit Lions 52-6. The Lions scored touchdowns on their first seven possessions, then kicked a field goal and ran out the final 6:45 on the clock to complete their rout.

Jones’ contract, which runs through the 2024 season, includes a base salary of $2,785,412 for this year. Despite the initial promise he showed, the Jaguars decided to decline his fifth-year option, which would have been worth $25.7 million. This decision means that Jones will become a free agent in 2025, opening up new possibilities for his career.
