As for his reported illness, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports Jones has hyperthyroidism and has been dealing with it for awhile. Demovsky also noted the condition “can be treated with medication” and “it’s not believed to be anything that would prevent him from playing.” What remains unclear if the illness really is the reason behind his release or this is just Green Bay’s way of classifying the release of a player who had become a thorn in their side.

More likely he was in need of a heart transplant, or perhaps he had an acutely and chronically bruised ego.
