On Byron Jones-
"He's a starting caliber NFL corner. He's a really good player. We have to figure out his financial value, and if it fits for us."
Heard that on BTB podcast this morning.
My translation: we aren't paying Jones what the market demands. Say goodbye to Byron. If I go by this quote the temperature on offering Jones a market value contract seems pretty frigid. Up until I watched all of our other CBs flounder this season I was fine with letting him walk. Obviously I have reservations now. That said if I am blaming scheme and technique on the majority of what we saw this past season then hopefully we can get the full potential of Jordan Lewis, Cheeto and Brown under our new staff. I think we will be ok regardless, and if I had to choose I think my preference is to put that money on the Dline anyways. Mods if this has already been covered please delete.
We knew it was unlikely they sign him.
Stephen and Jerry talk about how they will sign Cooper and Dak. But not with Byron it's always maybe or we'll see.
