There are no guarantees of anything at all. Everything is a risk, including extending Jones. He'll be 30, does he begin to decline? Not everyone is Travis Kelce. What does 3 or 4 more seasons of double-teamed with no help do to his attitude?
What we do have is a significant sample size of what things are like when you have Jones who gets doubled every down and a bunch of guys who cannot win 1 on 1.
I still Karlaftis will be a good, solid player, but he's young.
And I'm not necessarily saying we need to trade Jones. I guess I was hoping for a discussion in which we might talk about pros and cons, and what compensation for something like that might be.
But half of the responders clearly don't even read the posts before they tourettes post.
