All-Pro pass-rusher Chandler Jones requested a trade from the Arizona Cardinals this offseason, sources told ESPN.

Jones has been unhappy with his contract and missed offseason work as a result.

The Cardinals don't want to trade Jones and expect him to report to training camp, which begins Tuesday. Jones, 31, plans to have a big year coming off surgery on his biceps and the Cardinals believe he's excited to play alongside new acquisition J.J. Watt despite past unhappiness. A source said Jones is viewed as a 'great guy' in the organization and is set to be a pivotal part of the Cardinal's defense this year. The team generally does not publicly discuss contract details regarding its players.

It's possible Jones plays out the year in Arizona and hits free agency in 2022. But that might not quell the discord.

Jones, due $15.5 million in the final year of his deal, emerged as one of the game's best pass-rushers while recording 49 sacks from 2017-19. The biceps injury limited him to five games a year ago.

The Cardinals have dished out significant money to other players, including a $28 million deal for Watt this offseason. The Cardinals also agreed to extensions last year for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, making him the game's highest-paid receiver despite having multiple years left on his original deal, and safety Budda Baker, who earned one of the richest contract extensions for his position.

The Cardinals acquired Jones via trade with the New England Patriots in 2016.




Probably wont happen but damn would be nice.

Yes, that would be nice but I'm not holding my breath... maybe if we could dump Clark, but so far it seems we can't

Oh well, Hitchens, Gay and Bolton are an intriguing group loaded with potential... wbf

"Probably won't happen" is music to Britt Veedge's ears.

Yes, please.

But won’t happen even if he is available for trade. KC can’t take a $15.5 mil. hit on their cap this year. So unless he’s willing to take a massive pay cut to come play for a ring (which he won’t be), you can forget about this one.

Maybe Watt destroyed the Texans.

The kind of contract Chandler Jones probably wants is the kind of contract you shouldn't give a 31-year old DE.

Veach could if he wanted to, but it just doesn't make sense for us at this time.

Maybe when we can get rid of Clark next offseason we'll sign him in free agency.

Trade AZ Clark for Jones straight up. :D

Thought he was younger. Yeah, pass. That's around the age that pass rushers usually fall off a cliff.

Yeah, an extension starting at 32? No, thanks.

Wow!! Sleeping on Niemann huh????

Keep that same energy bruh

Would be nice but not gonna happen.

You just HAVE to be trolling, broham LMAO

He may be a high motor, lunch bucket coaches kid yada yada... but his ceiling is very defined and limited

I’m definitely trolling ya lol.

Dude is trash.

He will a Buc. Brady keep riding defenses and refs to wins.

Burt Vabrach is on it!
