Yes I know another MVS trade BUT to make this happen Veach has to include MVS's contract to make this work with cap space. If Veach can get it done without MVS's contract that is fine too.
While still good Grady Jarrett is 30 and not at Chris Jones level but still a very good starter in the NFL. He is under contract until 2025 with only hitting the cap for about $16M a year. HE can lineup next to Jones this year and then Veach looks to tag/trade or let Jones walk after this year. Veach would be saving about $16M going with Jarrett over Jones. I agree Pitts is not being used in Atlanta and will get his best shot and becoming elite next to Kelce and then taking over for Kelce in years to come. Reid would love this!
The idea would be to get this trade done, strengthen the O and D for a Super Bowl run THIS YEAR and then a must tag/trade Jones in the offseason to recoup that 1st and 5th we sent for Jarrett and Pitts.

So many things wrong with this.
But you realize tagging CJ was going to be difficult already given his cap hit. But if you then add Jarrett and Pitts and their contracts, it probably makes it damn near impossible absent some other restructurings that put us in a worse spot for future years. And then we’re still going to be in a lot of discomfort trying to trade him when everyone knows we have no intent of actually keeping him at that price point. So we lose even more leverage there. No way we’re getting a 1 for him.
Stop with these fantasty ideas. They’re ridiculous and have no grounding in reality.
