Part 4/7:
With Jones now a free agent, a critical question arises: what are his options moving forward? Preliminary assessments indicate that Jones is likely to clear waivers—meaning no team will pick up his contract given the substantial financial implications attached. Following this, he will be free to join any team that is in need of a backup quarterback.
