Jones leaves football in the middle of his 11th NFL campaign and second stint with the Detroit Lions.
Marvin Jones Jr. announced on Tuesday that he's stepping away from the Detroit Lions"to take care of personal family matters." As a result of his announcement, the Lions released him.
"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. 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," he said in a statement posted on Instagram.
After four seasons with the Bengals, Jones signed a five-year, $40 million contract with the Detroit Lions in 2016. After five seasons with the Lions, Jones signed a two-year deal worth $12.5 million with the Jacksonville Jaguars before returning to the Lions this season on a one-year deal worth $3 million.
