But, after we let Jones walk, I would really like to see us find some competition for Awuzie on top of finding a new RCB Agreed, but I wouldn’t force a 1st round pick on it if the value isn’t there.

Indeed, hence the "I would like to see" phrasing. Finding two new perimeter CBs may not be in the cards with all the work we have to do rebuilding the DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZski Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Detroit is going to offer him at least 16 mil a year from what I am reading as far as Lions insiders go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are spending all our cap space on a handful of players and rookie pool. Don't we have like 30 free agents and how do we replace them with all the money spent? You are missing that we would still have 29m in space which is perfectly normal for the amount of activity we usually have during the FA period and more than a bunch of other teams Edited February 23, 2020 by DaBoys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lone star Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'd like him back, yes. After all, it's not like I'm the one that will be paying him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 A lot of rumblings linking the Raiders to Jones. Can you tell me more about him? Strengths and weaknesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strengths and weaknesses? Weaknesses- 2 INTs in 5 years Plays one side, doesn’t shadow (at least the last two years. We literally played him everywhere on defense before that so I don’t buy that he’s exclusively an RCB, that’s not supported by his whole body of work) Not the world’s most physical tackler Doesn't sell jerseys Stregths- Literally one of the most consistent, effective man-to-man CBs in the league. Up there with Harris, Hayward, and Sherman as the least targeted CBs in football. QBs do not even look in his direction for the most part Provides 0 bulletin board material/clickbait fodder. Shuts up and does his job, point blank Edited February 29, 2020 by matt79511 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I was trying to wrap that up in “consistent”. Between his clean bill of health and absurd athleticism, he’s about as risk-free of a late-20’s free agent target there is. There’s no reason to think he won’t still be good at 31-32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 I think this is a big mistake. Now the Cowboys are going to do something crazy like trade the farm for Okudah, and really think they did something this off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like having a CB who says nothing when the ball isn’t going his way more than I like having a WR who does the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, Byron Jones is the same player. ZERO ball skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
