Unless there's a big uptick in his pass rushing I'd let him see out his contract and move on.

Just depends on my options.
I mean at a point we do have to consider life beyond Jones and how that is going to look much MUCH different than what we have now. Moreover, Karlaftis looked at his absolute best this season against Pittsburgh when we DIDN'T have Jones out there.
I mean I don't think I'm letting him walk for a 3rd round comp pick or anything if we just don't have a better option to build a pass rush around. If we signed Young and he broke out, that's one thing.
But if you keep it steady as she goes, drafting and developing, and guys like FAU and Danna are the leftovers if Karlaftis walks and Jones ages out....well at that point you kinda HAVE to keep Karlaftis.
