Former Raiders Player Chandler Jones Avoids Jail Time in Domestic Violence Case

Former Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones will avoid jail time after pleading no contest to charges of violating a domestic violence temporary protective order. Jones received a suspended 90-day jail sentence, contingent upon staying out of trouble and avoiding contact with the victim for six months, except under Family Court orders. One of his charges was dropped as part of the plea deal. He was arrested twice in fall 2023 for violating the protective order, leading to his release from the Raiders. Jones had previously signed a three-year, $51 million contract with the team and was known for his successful NFL career before these off-field issues arose. A status check hearing for the sentencing requirements is set for October 29.
