And if you let him walk at age 30, there are probably 25 sacks scattered over the next 3 years from the DT position leaving out the door with him.
How much will the sack production of our DE fall off because Chris Jones is no longer facing double teams?
It isn't as easy as skimming Chris Jones age 29 cream from the top and then dumping him. |
Being unmotivated and dogging it would be a bold strategy since all his potential suitors would see it happen. You think he'd get the contract numbers he's looking after being an unproductive malcontent? I don't see teams lining up to give a guy who'd be another year older and coming off a shitty season $30M/yr, but that's just me.
He's not stupid. He'll be back before preseason ends and he'll have a great year. He has to.
