And yes, you are correct that he was not rushing the passer when our lack of an offense was awful and we were stuck playin Run D for essentially 3 quarters while our offense was incapable of doing anything worthwhile. |

Had Derrick played with Patrick Mahomes, he'd be in the running for best defensive player of all time.

They can't trade him now so it's kind of pointless to discuss and I don't think you can tag and trade him next year with that cap hit.
So CJ and his agent definitely have some leverage here. I hate to just let him walk next season with no compensation coming back. I'm not really sure the answer here. |

From 2 thoughts: 1.) We can't act like all of Jones production comes from the inside. Only 59% of his snaps were from the interior. Over 40% of the time, he was lined up at End or over the tackle, which lowers a fair amount of that positional value he gets. 2.) Unlike several of those EDGE defenders (IMO) he still has glaring holes in his Run D game. But it's all good. We both come from a place of logic, just have a different way of looking at it. |

This also makes him more valuable as he's more versatile than said edge only guys in that he can play inside and out. I think the edge play ticks down alot now that they've invested in legitimate edge guys though. |

He was a fantastic regular season player, but postseason he wasn’t great. I have a recollection of Buffalo running straight at him one game and he essentially got pulled out.

Actually I don't think so. I think part of what makes him such a legend is he was hands-down the best player we had. He was so good that the defense was "the show". If he'd had Mahomes on his team the spotlight wouldn't have shined nearly as bright on DT.

The more I've though about it....I just don't think I'd be in business of paying a defensive player that much on a 3rd contract specifically. Even as good and as much as I love CJ here....today's defense is just so much about the sum of it's parts. You can't have holes, gotta have legitimate NFL starting caliber guys everywhere.
Offenses are too good at finding holes. I don't know what I'd do...glad it's not me making the decision. |
