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.

Not a horrible comparison but go back and watch some interviews of Jones. He takes about food a lot and also in one video I saw when he went back to school they showed the weight room and he talked about never being there and that it was not his thing.
Ya Ya I know its WAY different in the NFL but just has always stayed with me and while some could say Reggie White type, he could also be a Albert Hayneworth type going into his 3rd contract!
