Andre Jones Jr. was among the unexpected cuts made by the Commanders as they trimmed their roster. This decision reflects the ongoing teardown of the lineup built by former coach Ron Rivera. While he was a seventh-round draft pick last year, Jones's release signals a significant shift in roster dynamics under Dan Quinn, who emphasized prioritizing decisions that benefit the team rather than allegiance to previous selections. However, Jones may still have the opportunity to return to the organization through the practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
