Jones was hurt all year. He'll return to form.

Jones was hurt all year. He'll return to form.

Look at his career production. His best years have been league average. He's bad and an upgrade is needed.

 

[ShiningStar]

hopefully competition will be brought in, simple enough Jones is not all about power but has different traits but hopefully we ll see if hes good enough with the new Dallas Cowboys.

 

[glimmerman]

He could be cut. Could save 1.4 million cutting him. He got a sweet contract for a punter and didn’t really earn it.

Sign Marquette King from the XFL. Still an elite punter

Jones is average hurt or not

According to the article, he was paid much less than most punters, and that's a big reason they may opt to keep him.

He is getting paid 2 million a year. 4 years and 8.7 million. Isn’t the normal pay about 1 million a year. I could be wrong.

I really don't know what they usually pay punters. I'm just echoing what was written in the article.

And I could be way off. 1 million may have been the pay back in the 90’s. Lol.

Here's what was written, @glimmerman

Jones’ average punt has been at least 44 yards his entire career, but that dipped down to 41 yards last season. His long in 2019 was 58 yards, a dip from the 63-66 yard range the previous three seasons. Many, including fellow staff writer Jess Haynie, have argued it’s time for the Cowboys to move on from Chris Jones, but his team friendly contract makes that a bit unlikely.

As Jess noted, most punters make far more annually than Jones, and the Cowboys have gotten a bargain on Jones throughout the year. Recently, though, he’s been performing how you’d expect someone with his cap hit to perform.

I stand corrected. Lol. Guess a punter gig is pretty descent. I still want to be a long snapper.

 

[Hardline]

Can Dak Prescott punt?

I bet your wife'd like that too!

Just spend a whopping 6th round pick on the best punter available and be done with it. Itll be cheaper, and probably more effective, than whatever "good deal" Jones is giving Dallas.

Our ST were terrible and this is a franchise with "win now" aspirations. Dont get cute. Just improve the obvious weak spot and stop trying to spin it.

Wouldn’t mind seeing us draft a kicker.
