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.
It's a tough call honestly, DT's staying elite after 29 is less than 10% so you are betting against the odds.
