New England Patriots cornerback Jack Jones was recently arrested on gun charges after reportedly attempting to bring two loaded handguns through Boston’s Logan Airport.
According to attorney Michael McCann, Jones is in “a lot of trouble” with “serious charges” potentially on the table for him.
“Jones is in a lot of trouble. He’s in a lot of trouble because he’s facing multiple offenses and they’re serious offenses, including a large-capacity feeding device… There’s a lot of stuff that he’s been charged with. Certainly from what we know he’s facing serious charges that carry potential time in prison. That has to be very worrisome for him beyond how this will affect his career with the Patriots and his eligibility to play in the NFL…” McCann said on NBC Sports Boston.

Fans don’t seem quite as convinced that the NFL will throw the book at Jack Jones even if it costs him his job in New England. Some believe that Jones will plead to a lesser charge in order to avoid jail time and pointed out that the NFL has not been as harsh in punishing players for gun-related offenses.
As a rookie in 2022, Jones played in 13 games, recording two interceptions, a pick-six, six passes defended, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery along with 30 tackles.
