“You good? I’m worried about you, could’ve sworn I had a ‘dream’ you were at the same psych ward I was at in Vegas.”
“It also felt real bro hit me back”
“If I don’t get a response in two days on IG or something.. im posted his number as well.. this is just a warning to LF,” Jones wrote after tagging Murray in the Instagram story he shared.

“When was the last time buddy posted something online? Why isn’t he ‘ready to play’ #LostSouls”

Las Vegas put him on the NFI list three weeks ago.
