ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday that Chandler Jones has requested a trade from the Cardinals.

25 July 2021

Jones is evidently unhappy with his contract and future with the Cardinals. The Cardinals reportedly do not want to trade Jones, and expect him to report to camp. However, a trade would save Arizona $15.5 million in 2021, so it's entirely possible Jones is traded elsewhere prior to the start of the season. Jones is entering the final season his deal, his age 31 season. The pass rusher is coming off the worst season of his nine year career, with PFF grading him 68th among edge rushers in 2020. However, Jones earned PFF's 15th highest grade as an edge rusher in 2019, so another team may be willing to bet that he can return to his previous All-Pro form.
