Cardinals defensive Chandler Jones says he’s eager to see his old team, and glad it’s happening at the start of the season.
Jones said on Sirius XM NFL Radio that he was excited to see that the Cardinals-Patriots game is in Week One, and eager to get at it against his old teammates.
“When I first found out they were going to be on our schedule, I said that I was going to circle that game in red marker,” Jones said, via ESPN. “It’s Week 1, so that’s even better. The NFL already contacted me and told me I’d probably be miked up for that game. So that will be a fun game to listen to.”
Jones isn’t sure whether Tom Brady or Jimmy Garoppolo will be the quarterback he tries to sack in Week One, but he doesn’t much care.
“It doesn’t matter. Whoever is back there, I’m getting after him, for sure,” Jones said.
Jones said he’s enjoying everything in Arizona, even the heat, which rose to 115 degrees last week. He looks forward to putting some heat on the Patriots’ quarterback in Week One.
