Problem is, let’s say hypothetically they let Jones play out his contract and walk next year. You can tag and trade, but he’s taking up most of the salary cap until he is traded and it hurts your ability to sign other free agents.
You can let him walk but then the roster is almost completely void of talent at DT and you don’t have any additional picks to help address the position. Left tackle is very likely your top need (again) so can you really use your 1st at DT when QB1s blind spot protection is in question again? You’d have to hope 1-2 of Leonard Williams, Christian Wilkins, or DJ Reader are available as the top FA options on the market outside of Jones. Of course they’ll all likely command large contracts, so are they that much lower than Jones that it’s worth it to not just extend Jones?
