Jones, nicknamed the Senator for his ability to politick with the best of them, apparently didn’t think his word choices all the way through. According to ESPN reporter Marcel Louis-Jacques, Jones is not retiring despite the “former” tone he gave his warning.
Dolphins CB Byron Jones is not retiring, a source tells me — but he did offer words of caution to the 2023 draft class today, his first comments on his injury situation since undergoing Achilles surgery last March https://t.co/cHHesR3rxC

Prior to the cryptic tweets, the expectation was that the Dolphins were preparing to release Jones from his contract. Miami is facing $14.8 million in dead money should they make the move, unless it’s designated as a June 1 release that would split the hit into a $4.8 million hit this year and $10 million in 2024.
If either happens, and Jones is indeed still playing, he’s free to sign with any club, including the CB-needy Cowboys. The question is, if he indeed intends to return, is what level teams would be interested in knowing they aren’t going to be able to treat future injuries the sordid ways they have in the past.
