Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones continued his strange behavior on social media Thursday with an outright bizarre video post.
The lengthy video, which went on for 25 minutes and was streamed on Instagram Live and then posted by Jones to Twitter, ends with Jones talking about Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels and former teammate Aaron Hernandez and eventually signing off while crying.
“Y’all don’t know what Josh McDaniels really did to Aaron Hernandez. … Y’all thought Aaron Hernandez killed himself in jail,” said Jones right before breaking down.
Jones and Hernandez were teammates in New England while McDaniels was the Patriots’ offensive coordinator.

After being convicted of murder, Hernandez killed himself in prison in 2017.
Since being away from the Raiders in recent weeks, Jones has been very active on social media, publishing content that has many people concerned about the 11-year NFL veteran.

In the video, Jones also spoke about former Arizona Cardinals teammate Larry Fitzgerald, about whom he has previously spread strange claims.
“I think it’s these owners,” said Jones. “I don’t know what’s going on. Larry, whatever shit he got going on, he’s being controlled by somebody. And I think whenever [n-words] retire — Larry, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant — whenever they retire from what they are doing, something happens to them somehow.” (RELATED: Dolphins Or Bills?

Jones went on to claim that NFL players are being injected with fluoride and that CTE “doesn’t exist.”
He said in a follow-up tweet that he was getting off social media for a while “to hang with strippers.”

Chandler Jones’ social media activity sparked up when a dispute between him and the Raiders arose, with Jones complaining about the team not giving him gym access earlier this month, now escalating into bone-chilling videos and tweets.
