"I wish I could play with my brothers, but Marky Mark is holding a huge secret that only I know!" Jones began.
"That’s why I was asking for my protection sorry if I sound scared because I’m not lol, when I found out I was lol."
“[Mark Davis] didn’t know I didn’t have any kids and I was fostering a very important man’s kid, I won’t say his name. But once I found out what was done to this little girl I wasn’t allowed back in the building."
He continued:
"Now you taking money out of my pocket, here I am watching my team lose because. someone was molesting my god-daughter."
"You can call me whatever you want, CTE, a dumb football player, dumb black man.. whatever y’all want, keyboard warriors. Meanwhile our children are getting molested. That’s why I couldn’t get a sack today. Because ppl wanted to [rape] my step daughter and not expect me to get upset."
However, in a subsequent tweet issued on Monday, Chandler Jones made an abrupt about-face, claiming that he had been hacked.
"Sorry for the mix up. I was hacked. Please forgive me," Jones wrote on X.
