Twitter: Dallas unlikely to retain Byron Jones

[QuincyCarterEra]

Who cares? Let him walk, focus on the defensive line, get a good secondary coach and see things improve.

Umm... we all care?

Losing your best coverage guys and one of the better CBs in the league is definitely something to care about.

Watch, he's going to move to a team like the Ravens, Patriots (he did play for the UCon) or Bears and collect 6 interceptions his first year with the team.

I don't think u pay a corner that has two career interceptions in over five years but they should of not paid zeke either

Exactly you can’t. Draft well, pray Awuzie and Lewis improve and sign a Marcus Peters

Watch, he's going to move to a team like the Ravens or Bears and collect 6 interceptions his first year with the team.

You know he will. But we can’t pay him what he wants for what he does here

Cornerbacks are overvalued. Pass rush is more important.

That would be norm

Look away.

Two. Awuzie - 1 and Lewis - 1

Woods has the other two

2 interceptions in 5 years.

And he plays on the weak side where he covers more WR2s.

He never follows a teams best WR during a game.

Let him walk.

I don’t disagree but he did play FS and slot corner (covering TEs) his first three years.

Still. Let him walk

You have the right to have incorrect takes.
Our pass rush consistently wins and yet our other coverage guys still get cooked.

 

[nightrain]

Gives up too many big plays in big moments. No ball skills. Has been mediocre the past few weeks. Can't pay him.

 

[Runwildboys]

Before this year, I agreed.

After this year, let him walk. He’s too inconsistent, doesn’t make plays on the ball in the air and is getting beat by lesser players. I would love to retain him, but I’m not paying top dollar for him.

He just looks better because Awuzie is ****

He's dropped off a bit, but he's still #8, according to SI.

 

[Hoofbite]

I don't dislike Byron, but it makes sense. The team really doesn't care to invest in the secondary.

Honestly he’s very average.

Now look at Awuzies ranking and watch film. There is reason people don’t throw on Jones lol

 

[Runwildboys]

Okay, but I don't wanna hear everyone complaining about how stupid the FO was to let our best CB go, when opponents score TD after TD next year.

Not only that he's failing to realize what about the money we saved by "not getting Byron but paying more for pass rush" has two GIGANTIC issues with that

1. We literally just had the most loaded interior D-line free agency class for the ENTIRE 2000s and the cowboys made zero offers to anyone. We ended up signing a back-up (convington) for cheap
and
2. Most good pass rushers get franchise deals or franchise tags. Don't hit the market often and when they do they get 2x what it would cost to keep Byron

He's failing to realize "oh if we don't sign Byron we will pay more for better pass rusher" isn't how it works in the real world.......

 

[stiletto]

Really I could care less about our secondary players. The only one I like even remotely is Jourdan Lewis. No way I pay any of the other guys, not one playmaker among them besides Lewis. All of them give up big plays at the worst possible moments ESPECIALLY on 3rd down!

 

[stinkface]

Chido has been a huge disappointment. I thought with his athleticism and strength that he would be pretty good. He's been far from that. Everyone seems to beat him like a drum. .

 

[LucaBrasi]

Meh, somewhat sticky cover guy who can’t make a play on the ball to save his life. 2 career picks is unfathomable. After watching this season, I’d get rid of most of these guys, but I know they can’t and won’t do that.

having said all that, he’ll go to a better culture or receive better coaching, and probably make more plays.

You think the Zeke contract looks bad now? Just wait...
