Jones, who last played in the NFL in 2023, announced the news in a video on social media.
"Today I'm announcing my retirement," Jones said. "It started when I was 8 years old, just a kid in Foley, Alabama. It was an amazing ride."
In the video, Jones thanked his family, teammates, coaches — including Nick Saban, Matt Ryan and Mike Smith — and more. He also thanked each of his NFL teams and the city of Atlanta for giving him the opportunity to play.
