It seems unlikely we will be able to keep Jones, Hightower, and Collins. Especially with Butler, Ryan, Sheard, and others entering UFA in the next couple of years.
I think Easley could play RDE and not get as beat up as being an undersized DT. I also think Hightower could play DE effectively in passing situations.
I like Jones but he seems like the one we could most easily replace, it might make sense to recoup some value while we can.
Thoughts?
01 ~ I
probably wouldn't, but I'd definitely
consider it for the right Price.
02 ~ I like Jones, but I don't consider'm elite.
03 ~ His best Years may be ahead'f'm, mind you.
04 ~ I do expect that he's going to get an enormous Contract, though.
05 ~ And that's why I'm open to the Idea of trading'm.
06 ~ Paying Elite Contacts for, say,
Good Performance can be disastrous.
07 ~ The Salary Cap is expanding, so the Trade might not be
necessary.
08 ~ But I've always got an eye open for a Great Trade.
When I run my OffSeason Mock, it's going to include a complete 7 Round Draft ~ including the 1st and 4th Rounders, thank you very much!! Say what you will, but I wouldn't've caved like Kraft did, and I believe that I would've ultimately forced Goodell's Hand and compelled'm to cough'm up!!
As such, there would've been not ******** limitations on what we could acquire in Trades.
As such...
I'd be willing to consider a Trade for, say, consecutive 2016 & 2017 1st Rounders and a 2016 3rd and 7th Rounder and maybe an old Binky or two...but probably only if I felt that I could sustain or preferably improve our Depth of Talent while I did so, through the Draft, Development, and Free Agency.
*I'd also like to note that this was not only a perfectly reasonable Subject to bring up, but a very interesting one, and it disgusts me when people who I otherwise respect ~ and a few who I otherwise do
not!! 
~
disgrace themselves by insulting everyone with a new or interesting Idea.
