As you may remember, former Pittsburgh Steelers LB Jamir Jones was arrested in April thanks to a case of domestic violence. However, he's received good news in his legal battle, as all charges have been withdrawn.
Via Steelers Now:
"Jones was arrested on April 12 at his Fort Lauderdale, Florida home and charged with charged with one count of battery, a first-degree misdemeanor. The alleged victim has been in a long-term relationship with Jones and was not willing to participate in the legal prosecution against him, according to Broward County court documents obtained by Steelers Now.
The case was disposed by prosecutors in May. An independent NFL investigation into the incident has not led to discipline for Jones, agent Carlos Hudson told Steelers Now. Jones is now free to sign with another team without the possible penalty of an NFL-mandated suspension hanging over his head."
After playing college football at Notre Dame, Jones was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Houston Texans, but soon released. He would make his way to the Steelers in 2021 after he was noticed by Mike Tomlin at his Pro Day. However, he'd be waived and soon found himself within the organizations of the Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars before once again being claimed off waivers by the Steelers.
But he was released by the team after the domestic violence incident in April.
