Bryon Jones was once an average Free Safety whose best ability was his covering the TE. Kris Richard moved him immediately to corner and he had his best season as a Cowboy. He followed it up with a strong season last year coming off hip surgery. Highly durable, has never missed a game, great locker room guy. As a shadow, press corner, very good, anything else very average.
Robert Quinn was acquired via trade with the Dolphins last year. He was coming off of an average sack year, but with the Cowboys he registered 11.5 sacks in just 14 games due to a suspension to start the year. Throughout last year, he certainly looked like an elite, edge rusher. He does have an injury history, but hasn't missed a healthy start in two seasons. Not a great run defender, more of a very good pass rusher.
Both players have some question marks. Fa dollars at each respective position is extremely costly. Byron due to his age, is going to cost much more on the open market, where Quinn is looking one last big contract.
As of fa and the draft, this year's class has more quality corners then edge rushers available, especially in the draft. You aren't going to replace either's production.
In my opinion, Robert Quinn is more of the wildcard, due to his age, injury past, where we know what we are getting with Bryon Jones, an durable, consistent starter. However, the deciding factor who makes my game changing plays? Robert Quinn and it's not even close.
