The story went on to quote Jones: “I just want to say that I have so much love and respect for the Ford family, the city of Detroit, my teammates, and coaches,” Jones said in his statement. “To be brief, I am stepping away from the team to take care of personal family matters. Although this was no easy decision, I cannot be the person/player that I need to be for this team as well as tend to my family from afar."
