Multiple defensive tackles have signed massive contract extensions this offseason, including the New York Giants' Dexter Lawrence (25 yrs old) and Washington Commanders' Daron Payne (26 yrs old), who each signed four-year, $90 million extensions. The Tennessee Titans signed Jeffery Simmons (26 yrs old) to a four-year, $94 million deal and the New York Jets signed Quinnen Williams (25 yrs old) to a four-year, $96 million contract. Chris Jones will turn 30 yrs old this season. My point is that Chris Jones is joining the party too late. When he got his contract in 2020, HE was handsomely paid - today the youth above is relishing in TODAY'S market - Chris Jones is out of the 25/26 year old range asking for handsome funds. We shall see. His demands would CRUSH our salary cap like Eric Berry and Frank Clark. For me? franchise his ass for the next 2 seasons (2024 - 2025) or simply let him walk at the end of this season - He will play what 8 possibly 12 games?

Does anyone think one of these teams would trade their 25/26 year old stud DT straight up for Jones? If not shouldn’t this tell us something about paying Jones $30+ million?
