The 2022 offseason has had some of the craziest deals, trades, and waiving of players in the past few years. We witnessed the 4-year $200 million outrageous extension of Aaron Rodgers and the trading of Russell Wilson to Denver in exchange for multiple first-round picks all within a span of two days.
Chandler Jones, linebacker for the Arizona Cardinals is set to hit the free agency for the first time in his decade-long career. Nobody in the NFL has racked up more sacks than Chandler Jones’s 107.5 since he joined the league in 2012. Jones is currently battling with the decision as to which team is the best fit for his talents.

The 32-year old pass rushers’ golden might be behind him, but Jones still has a lot of juice left in the tank. He’s still capable of intimidating quarterbacks with his rushes. Any team would be greatly benefitted from adding Chandler Jones to their roster. “To be completely honest, it’s not about money at all,” Jones told Logan Ryan on The NFL Players Podcast, via the Cardinals’ team website.
“Where I am in my career, I’ve gotten contracts, I’ve gotten the Super Bowl, but I think scheme is huge. Or for me, winning more championships. I’ll say it again, it’s not about money. I will say I want to go to a place that maximizes my talents. There have been times in my career where I’d say I caught myself out of position. I do take the blame, but at the same time it’s like, ‘Hey, should I have been doing that?’ I have enough comfort where I am in my career and this age to say that.”
Jones began his career with the New England Patriots where he won the Super Bowl during his 4-year stay. He was then tarded to the Arizona Cardinals and is coming off of his 6-year stay with them. He had a great run with the Cardinals and it’s difficult to imagine too many clubs that wouldn’t be a good fit for his talents and there are few teams who wouldn’t welcome a pass rusher of his pedigree.
Potential landing spots for Chandler Jones are the Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts, and Baltimore Ravens, along with the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. Jones is the fifth-ranked free agent in NFL.com’s Top 101 NFL free agents of 2022. It’ll be interesting to see where Jones lands for the 2022 season!
