We made it pretty clear with the Hill trade that we're not going to give out max contracts. Jones will know that too and shouldn't be expecting an outlandish deal. But he might be willing to play one more year and bet on himself, with the threat that he will hold out if we tag him and don't trade him. I could see it all playing out that way. I don't think letting him play one more year then tagging and trading for whatever we can get, if it works out that way, is the end of the world. He's dominant this year. But it is a contract year for him. He hasn't always looked as highly-motivated as this year. I love Jones. But he's pretty laid back and happy go-lucky. IE - the kind of player who could just coast a bit after signing a big contract. Let's not forget Houston and Berry. Those contracts really hamstrung the team.

Looks like we are in agreement. I also know that our ability to get to the QB without blitzing is suspect at times. If KC lets Jones walk they need to have a plan to replace 12+ sacks a year from him.

They have to make him a genuine fair market offer IMO. They can't replace everyone but Pat when their contract is up.

How do you define fair market? Because if it's to match what any team would offer, that's a tough standard. It seems like there's always some team in a position to overpay for whatever reason.

You'd like to think that with the extra draft picks and savings on money you could pursue Marcus Davenport/Javon Hargrave and also add young depth as well.

That's the hard part. Fair market doesn't mean resetting the market IMO. I would say at this point Jones is a step behind Donald and should be compensated accordingly..

This is nuts. He was double teamed ~70% of the time and the highest double teamed edge rusher was only at ~31. He was a man amongst boys in the interior pass rusher chart. |

The chances of replacing his sack numbers arent very high, but it is going to be impossible to replace what he brings to helping everyone else rush the passer. He's picking up double teams 70% of the time and those aren't chips from a TE or RB. It's a C and G trying to stop him. He's more valuable than any pass rusher in the game right now. He gets sacks and makes it easier for everyone else.
You pay him whatever it takes, because you will not replace everything he brings to the table. |

Dynasties were squandered because they overpaid veterans instead of reloading and going young again. You don't have to, and should not expect a guy to hold an elite level of play at a defensive position in which you blow shit up every play. You can move your strengths to other areas of the team as you draft young talent. Oh, and just because the cheating ass Pats did it doesn't mean I'm citing them as evidence. |

I don't think there are enough dynasties to pretend like there's a common thread to building them other than hall of fame QB. |
