This board would completely melt down if byron jones goes to philly, and gets a game winning pick off of dak next year.
My question with Jones is how good is he going to be on the back end of his deal. His play is all based on athleticism, and will take a dive once he loses a step.Tony Pauline is reporting that word down in Mobile is the Eagles are looking to revamp their CBs and Jones and Chris Harris are two names they are in on.
On one hand, I see the logic in us not getting into a bidding match for Jones. But on the other hand, having him in Philly would make them much better at an area of weakness.
I am generally curious to see what we do with Jones.
Oh yeah. Not a knock on our guy, @Sydla. I’m sure Philthy will be looking hard at Byron. I would if the shoe was on the other foot!Naturally. He’s a talented player at a premium position. The market should be robust for him. Noteworthy though because it’s Philly. Always bugs me when they start sniffing around our guys
Do you think he will get that big of a contract?
We should at least get a 4th, but if we can get a 3rd, I think that would be pretty good. We could end up with 4 comp picks. And get a 3rd, maybe 2, and a f4th and 5th.
this is why I hope they don't sign. too many high player FA's to offset what we will lose. With 24 FA's, and we lose 8 but sign 4. We can get those 4 comp picks.
This could be a strategy they look at. Then have a sold draft. Build for the long haul, not just next season.
We need McClay to oversee both Mike McCarthy and Nolan to prove that we are looking for good football players that fit scheme to their talent. Not the archaic, opposite, scheme rules, Marinelli-way!Pretty much.
We need him too. That’s what stinks about this but when you pay a QB big money this is what starts happening. We’re losing an elite corner for a mediocre QB.
I was curious about the numbers and if that were a possibility.They can easily keep both. And Amari, Collins and Quinn.

Before restructures, with cutting Crawford, they have over ~$90m in space.I was curious about the numbers and if that were a possibility.
Would a CB to replace him at 17 be a better option?
I right there with youWho better to evaluate DB's than the guy that had to game plan against them?
I am in the minority but Byron Jones would be a critical keep for me. He's the most consistent player on the D and one of the two best. And if a team wants to make their CB's better, get good Safeties.
Terrance Newman had 16 interceptions his first 5 years in the league. Byron Jones has 2.Hate to lose the guy. He's a Terrance Newman type of player. Does everything great except get turnovers. Maybe getting away from Tampa 2 and pairing him up with a solid DB coach will benefit him in that department.
There was quite a disconnect there many times this season.Even if we lose Byron, he'll probably generate a third round comp pick for us.
It's hard to see how we're going to be able to retain him as it feels like the FO is more keen on keeping the Dak -> Amari connection alive and well.
This board melts down on a regular basis so what’s the big deal?This board would completely melt down if byron jones goes to philly, and gets a game winning pick off of dak next year.
Well, they liked Troy Vincent so would make sense. Very similar players.
