Cardinals will franchise Jones, so as of now, here is the breakdown:
Arizona Cardinals
Chandler Jones 2016, 2017 seasons
Cost: $8M in 2016, $15M in 2017
Total: Jones two seasons, $23M
*Jones salary jumped from about 2.5M to 8M from 2015 to 2016, so the Patriots had him at at a discount while the Cardinals paid about 3x for the same player. $15M is appproximate franchise number.
New England Patriots
Chris Long, 2016 season
Cost: 2.5M
(Second Round Pick Traded for 3rd and 4th)
Joe Thuney 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 seasons
Cost: 3M
Malcolm Mitchell 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 seasons
Cost: $3M
Total: Long one season, Thuney four seasons, Mitchell four seasons, (OVERALL 9 seasons), 8.5M
****BONUS****
Trey Flowers 2016, 2017, 2018 will cost about $2M. Is there anyone who would even want Jones over Flowers even for the same price? Even if you add Flowers' salary, which wasn't part of the deal, that's three more years of production (bringing the total to 12), all for half the price of 2 years of Chandler Jones.
