Former Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. had a case of the schadenfreude on Sunday.
Jones, who now plays for the Seattle Seahawks, posted a laughing emoji on X following the Bears’ heartbreaking 20-17 overtime loss in an NFC Divisional Round game at Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill., against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams.
Although Jones didn’t say exactly what he was laughing about, fans immediately recognized it as a shot at the Bears, who selected the former Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
It did not take long before fans started exposing Jones’ forgettable stint with Chicago. If he was really mocking the Bears for their loss to Los Angeles, Jones did not consider what Chicago fans have on him — or he probably just did not care at all about the backlash.
Many brought up Jones’ “fumbilitis” during his time in the Windy City, while others tried to denigrate him and his career.
Try to be fumble-I mean humble.

You couldn't even stay on the team with Eberflus running the show. You had no shot with Ben Johnson. You just exposed yourself as a classless hater.

Jones played parts of three seasons with the Bears, and during that time, he had more fumbles (4) than rushing and receiving touchdowns combined (2).
Fans can say all they want about Jones, but at least his team is still in the running to win the Super Bowl after the Seahawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round, 41-6.
