Twitter: Cowboys will let Jones hit Free Agency

[JoeKing]

Having set their priorities as Dak and Amari, the Cowboys will have little choice but to let Byron hit FA.

You say a quarter of a turnover a game like that's some small feat..nobody on the entire roster averages that...nobody on the roster in the last decade plus has averaged that..

I think you missed the point. If he averaged 4-5 INTs a year, he’d be on his way to first team all pro and possibly the Hall of Fame.

The fans that post here have created a narrative that he’s not very good or we’ll be fine without him just because he doesn’t get INTs. He’s still one of the best corners in the NFL. Awuzie and Lewis got torched repeatedly even with Byron covering the opposing team’s #1. They’re in for a heap of trouble if those guys get promotions with Byron gone.

Can't keep everybody when they keep paying the other players what they're paying and that will pretty much set the 1st round pick and maybe even 2nd. What about Brown? Jones wasn't the only CB up.

 

[Jake]

As long as defense and special teams remain afterthoughts so will the Cowboys when it comes to the postseason.

But we gotta have those "new triplets", right?

[kskboys]

No surprise. Jones is as good as gone with the way money is thrown around in free agency he’ll likely end up as one of the highest-paid corners in the league if not the highest paid.

Can you say Asomugha?!!!!!!

Terrific cover corner who wasn’t known for picks. However in 2006 he had 8 ints. In 11 seasons he only have 15 career ints.

I'm sure I'm reading this wrong but it appears you are saying they met with the players above at the combine this year?

These guys are all last year's players who entered the draft. What am I missing?

Good eye! Thanks for the heads up. I am WRONG. The list is last year.
I don't know if I'll be able to live it down......LOL

Thanks man! Glad someone is watching.

Correct list is here.....

[Redball Express]

I believe this to be true , but as is I'm fine with letting him walk because I really want ballhawks that can change a game , but most likely he will go elsewhere and end up a interception leader in the NFL just cuz.

Well..

For sure at his new pay scale he will be getting alot more balls his way.

Let's see if he can even catch.

We never found out.

We all have done things we wish to forget lol... No worries.

I was hesitant to even reply because I definitely thought there was a misunderstanding on my part.

No do point out the mistakes I post. Most often I'm looking at three or four articles, and have 8 tabs of stats and things to read. Sometimes it's hard to keep everything straight.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Better to get it right and make the necessary corrections.

Thanks!

Lol! Same here! I reread it several times and thought it best not to respond

Wow... that's a pretty wild anomaly.

 

[KJJ]

Wow... that's a pretty wild anomaly.

Yeah, he had more picks in one season than in 10 seasons combined. He had 5 seasons where he didn’t have any picks.

 

[Teague31]

Good. Absolutely not worth the $ he will get. Take the comp pick and be happy

 

[KJJ]

Read somewhere where Jones could make $20M per season. A lot of money for someone who isn’t a game changer/playmaker and has only 2 career ints. Jones hasn’t had a pick in two seasons.

 

[willia451]

We're do so much with so little on defense for so long that we are now qualified to to anything on defense with nothing.

 

[LatinMind]

5tds allowed in 2 years and can effectively shut down a teams WR#1, but yeah..he's average.

He doesn't cover teams #1. He typically covers the teams #2
