While that makes logical sense, he has a bad habit of taking plays off and is a reason our run d has been so shitty. [Reply]

If it gets way out of hand you tag and trade him like the sea chickens did with Clark to us. If he refuses to play next year after this year then we tag him and find someone to give us a first for him and we trade him off. Still come out looking good either way. I want the guy but either way we hold the cards [Reply]
My argument is based on the assumption that he is trying to get paid as the top interior lineman in the league. If that's the case and he has another good year he's still going to want to be paid that way. A lot of us are speculating here. One side he's not already asking for the contract he would get if we tagged him next year and negotiated. I'm looking at it from the standpoint if he's already asking for that contract let him prove it. [Reply]
hes basically a top 3 interior lineman correct? and every time a top 5 anything gets paid anymore they get paid the biggest contract for that positon in history unless five gets paid immediately after 1 gets paid. so give him a little more than donald and get it over with. its gonna happen eventually either way.
everyone says he was known for taking plays off, i remember that from college and i remember that as a rookie but i really dont remember him doing that much last season from what i remember he was meh in run d because he was over aggressive and would penetrate into the back field instead of filling gaps too often but i dont remember him just checking out for a drive like he did in college. (note im no film expert and didnt do a break down or anything but i did watch jones more than others because he was one of two defensive bright spots) [Reply]

I'm just saying that because I've seen someone else on this forum say the same you're saying and it's just not true.
Lol ok. I guess that settles it then.
Cox is getting credit for his career, because Jones was significantly more productive on significantly fewer snaps in 2018.
If you want to say Cox is a better all around interior DL, you have an argument. But he was not the better pass rusher in 2018 and I don’t really care what everybody on ”Footballsfuture” said. [Reply]

You’re an idiot if you don’t think we should pay this man. How’s the defense going to get better when you let young blue chippers walk in their prime?
Pay him yes. All in for that but not some long crazy money deal that we regret in 2 years. We have had enough of that. If he wants to be greedy then he can be traded for a CB. We need another more than him. [Reply]

mahomes, as good as he is, cant make average defensive tackles look like chris jones. bellicheck works because he has great qb play and hes a defensive guru. [Reply]
