Berry and Houstons 15 mil dead money this year was so satisfying to pay them. Cant wait to drop another 8 mil on Berry next season!! Best contract evaaaar.
My bad though. All of Clarks injuries are behind him now obviously, so its smooth sailing on that 100 mil boys!! Back up that Brings truck on Jones!
Jones' production in the divisional playoff alone helping us come back from 24-0, shows why we cannot succeed in the post season without him. WE MUST MAKE HIM THE HIGHEST PAID DEFENDER NAOWWWW!!
Idiot.
This argument isnt against any single player, you short sighted dipshit, it is about the risk associated with dropping 3-4 players worth of cash on one player.
Hasn't panned out well in the past.
Christ youre ****ing obtuse.

Look at a list of the best D tackles to ever play. There's something all of those guys have in common and that is they played either there whole careers with the same team or at most 2 teams. Between these guys who are arguably the best 10 DTs of all time only 3 of them played on more than 1 team.
Casey Hampton - 1 team
Buck Buchanan - 1
Warren Sapp - 2 (Played on 2nd team during his decline. Was 32 years old when he went to 2nd team. Worst years of his career)
Randy White - 1
Cortez Kennedy - 1
John Randle - 2 (went to 2nd team when he was 34)
Bob Lily - 1
Merlin Olsen - 1
Mean Joe Greene - 1
Alan Page - 2 (went to 2nd team at 33 years old)
Teams just don't let their stud D tackles go. When are all pro talent d tackles ever available for trade or in FA? Its just a position that is filled with so many busts that when you get one like Chris Jones you don't let him leave before he's even hit his prime, especially if the only reason you can come up with is that he might get hurt.
