Ex-Raider James Jones was at Taco Bell when informed of his release

Don’t you hate when you’re trying to enjoy a nice meal, and you’re told the Raiders have released you?

It’s a tough situation, but veteran wide receiver James Jones went through it after hearing from former Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie ... while at Taco Bell.

Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner doesn’t appear to be a fan of the fast-food chain.

Back when Derek Carr was a rookie in 2014, Jones signed a three-year, $10 million deal with the Raiders. 

The wide receiver and San Jose native brought a veteran presence to the Silver and Black after spending seven seasons with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

James even nicknamed Carr “Baby A-Rod,” with some of the throws he would initiate.

Jones appeared to be looking forward to what could happen in Oakland, but obviously, that didn’t last long. In one season with the Raiders, Jones made 73 receptions for 666 yards and six touchdowns. He announced his retirement in Sept. of 2017. 

Oakland saved $3.43 million off their cap by cutting Jones, which could have bought them a lot of Chalupas.
