Jones has a long history of legal issues. Most recently, in 2019, he was arrested and convicted in Indiana for cheating at gambling and resisting law enforcement. All but two months of an 18-month sentence was suspended.

He played for the Bengals from 2010 to 2017, his longest playing stretch for any NFL team. He also played for the Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos.
