I think Jones is a great player, and the pass rush issues are not his fault.

But I also see a lot of parallels to Hill. Paying Jones may be too rich to improve the players around him.

I'm not saying we should absolutely trade Jones; but I am saying that we should consider it, depending on what the return is. If there's a mid to high first in the package, I think you'd really have to consider it. Jones will be 30, and that $30m per would go a long way towards upgrading multiple spots on the d-line. If that cash and draft pick give you 3 upgrades, you can accept the one downgrade.

I'm not at all down on Jones, he's a great player, just thinking that if the concept is to put the best 52 plus Mahomes on the field, you have to consider it.
