Offseason talk - would you trade Chandler Jones?

[Brady6]

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?

Did he play today?

 

[Betterthanmost]

Interesting timing....

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

I'd trade, but only for Tom Brady.

Oh wait, no need to trade him quite yet, but I'd be willing to listen to interesting offers.

 

[Gronk]

I'd listen. Decent draft pick or semi-young OL player gets it done. He's been good, really good at times, but not indispensable with the front 7 depth.

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Would love to get a high second rounder. Trade him to the Titans

Guy disappears way too much imo, HT Collins first won't be sad to see him go.

Yes I'd trade Jones if a decent offer comes in.. This defense feeds off of Collins and Hightower..Those guys are our stud All Pro/Pro bowl players. Jones disappears to many times for my liking.

No I don't move Easley to RDE..He's a pass rushing beast in the interior...those guys don't grow on trees..

You could still bounce him inside on passing downs. Use him similar to how the Texans use Watt.

I want to envision Easley more like Aaron Donald...

 

[JPsPats]

No. Do you guys not remember how terrible our pass rush was before we drafted Jones??

The banta Cain days lmao.

You don't trade double digit sack guys.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Pay Collins and Hightower whatever they want..all i care about

He missed a good chunk of last year... We were fine.

Problem not letting him go. We can't keep the 3 of Collins, Hightower and Jones. You keep the 2 beasts, and let the good player go.

Offseason is simple IMO. Hit the reset button at tackle besides Solder and WR besides Edelman.

It would depend on (1) the return (2) if HT/Collins signing depends on moving on from Jones (3) Jones' level in the drug treatment program - if he's even on it (4) his asking price going forward.

I'm leaning "yes" to enough of those to make a move. But if the return is poor, I'm ok riding the contract and trying to maximize the potential of a player in his contract year and letting him walk and get a 3rd rounder.

Plus Butler is a top 10 CB right now and will probably be a top 5 by the time he comes up for free agency. A young shutdown CB is a huge asset that we need to retain.

 

[VectorPrime]

Depends on the return. But I would seriously consider it considering we probably wont keep him after the year anyway.

I would keep Amendola if he restructured again.

Vollmer is good, he played out of position most of the season. Bring him back.

Cannon and LaFell I agree, and Mayo might want to consider calling it a career - he probably has a career in broadcast or coaching waiting for him.

Vollmer and Amendola are great what is wrong with you
