Deion Jones possibility

[MizzouCowboy4]

So Falcons gonna cut Jones. Be interesting if he comes here under Quinn. Be a upgrade over 55. Thoughts?

Money

How bad does Quinn want him? Hopefully we don’t get any marinelli type roster decisions

 

[ESisback]

Put remaining resources on OL!

He’s supposedly out for the season w an injury

There is not reason for the Falcons to cut him because his 2022 salary is guaranteed.

They wouldn't have to pay it if they trade him.
- They might have to give another team a draft pick to get them to take on his ~14M in guaranteed salary/bonus for 2022.

If they did cut him, then he might be cheap for 2022.
- He would have already been paid 14M by the Falcons for 2022.
- He is expected to miss all of the off-season workouts due to having shoulder surgery.

Another option is a trade where the new teams pays part of the 14M and the Falcons pay part of it.
- The way that works is that the player must sign a new contract with the Falcons before being traded.

Let's not bother folks.

Alarm bells start ringing for me when a coach keeps going back to his old team.

Let's discover new talent

Out for the off-season...

Jones had a recent procedure to fix a shoulder injury. The report stated he would miss the team's remaining off season program (no mention of missing 2022).

Unfortunately not the kind of FA the Cowboys look for....he ain't in the dumpster yet. Could be the blue light special at K-Mart...but still too expensive for this FO. Still only 27 though.

Should I know Deion Jones?

Quinn knows his old players better than anyone, so I will stand whatever he decides to do.

Dan Quinn seems to like LSU LBs.
How does Deion Jones fit w/Parsons?
I think Quinn can get Jones if he says he needs him.

As of tomorrow I believe the Cowboys get the La'el Collins money and thus will have around $24 million of cap space.

Money will be an issue, but it shouldn't be.

Nice attention to detail. In that case I'd love to have him flying around the field.

Yeah probably. He was balling pretty hard for awhile there. I guess he got bit by the injury bug. Can be a really good player though.

It doesn’t matter how much Quinn likes him. Stephen likes their guys and signing a free agent is taboo in Dallas.

He played through that shoulder injury last season . That’s what he just had surgery on. Healthy he is an upgrade

I don't think the team feels LB is a need at this point. Certainly not going to spend money for a proven guy like Jones who will expect to start. Parsons, Cox apparently will be ready per Stephen, Kearse plays a lot of LB snaps and LVE.They have plenty of depth/STs LBs who can fill out the LB room. Now if there's a significant injury to one of those top 3 guys, that's a different story.
