If you can't bring Jones back then he was necessary throughput. Now that we have...well, moving him seems like the smarter decision. It's actually been part of my calculus on the 'should we re-sign Jones' question. You don't re-sign Jones and extend Sneed instead, you get no additional draft capital.
You overpay a bit (IMO) to retain Jones but you move Sneed who likely could've been had at/near the same cost as Jaylon Jones...well, you at least get some draft capital to help offset the massive gap cap space.

Agreed. This draft is deep right at the sweet spot where we could get an asset for LJ. I LOVE LJ. But I ain't paying both him and Jones top of market deals, particularly when I can exchange one for cost-controlled talent of the magnitude available in the top 50 of this draft.
