He's a bit of a hybrid.
I don't use this name lightly - but there's been one guy in recent memory who can do the inside/outside thing like Jones can do. He aged very well. It was Reggie White.
And Jones is a VERY similar sort of specimen. He's a tall, powerful inside presence who can dominate from the inside despite that height. He can move outside and be dominant because of his first step. He's an excellent hand-fighter and knows how to use his angles.
He is as good a bet to age well as anyone is, IMO.
But I'm still not going to have him re-set the market.
I just don't want to fall into the trap of diminishing who he is as a player or what he's done for the franchise because money is getting in the way.
