In 1990 when Jones was 39 years-old, Bobby Beathard actually tried to coax him out of retirement to play for the Chargers when he saw Bert throwing the ball more than 75 yards in an NFL quarterback contest.
After giving it some thought, Jones declined the offer ...... he cited advice from his doctor that re-injuring his neck (an injury which forced him to retire 8 years earlier in 1982) could cause permanent damage, perhaps even paralysis.
Beathard Interested in Bert Jones's Return
