New police video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows that during a 2023 run-in with cops, Chandler Jones tried to get a hold of Tom Brady -- with the hopes the quarterback could help diffuse a tense situation.
The heated encounter between the former NFL star and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office went down last year, on Nov. 27 ... after authorities tried to take Jones to a medical facility in Arizona following their receival of a court-ordered mental health petition.
Body-worn camera footage from responding officers shows, initially, they had a tough time getting Jones to come out of his Arizona mansion to speak with them.
