12 starts to being too much.8 mil wont buy you much when it comes to a decent CB. I think a fair offer would be more like 12 mil with incentives.

Wasn't how he played. They tried to use him as primarily an outside runner, when his obvious strength is inside. It was about as dumb as when they signed Asomuhghawa, the best man cover corner in the game, and shoved him into a zone.So true! Watching DeMarco Murray go there was amusing then it was pretty sad how he played.
Byron is a good player but he will cost too much. The fact that he is not a ball-hawk has always made it feel easier to see him go, at least for me but I have appreciated his coverage ability (mostly) the last couple of seasons but I don't think he's worth huge money...I like the idea of a comp pick for him, especially as a 3rd.
Yup. We never do that. We even kept Mike Jenkins w/ a replacement already on board. And turned down a 2nd round pick. Stupid stupid stupid.If that's what the Cowboys thought about him as well then they should have signed or traded him for a pick before the season started. That's something I notice the Patriots doing. Now what?
The Eagles are not a blitzing team. No idea where the narrative came from but Jim Schwartz has never been a blitz heavy DC. He will dial it up to protect the DB”s but all things being equal he wants to rush 4 and play coverage.
They are interested in Jones because he’s the best combo of age and skill on the FA market.

No, not anymore, but they were under Johnson. I mean, are you kidding me right now?
Reading is fundamental Dude. Nowhere in the post you are responding too does it say Blitz. It says pressure, which can be accomplished through either blitz or pressure from your front front 7, via scheme
OK, but lets look at what and why Philly is looking at Jones, assuming the report is true. Why would they making this....
They do it with scheme so for them, the CB that can allow them to run the multiple blitz scheme is probably worth it because with out that guy, you can't run that scheme. So what's important to them? If we look at the secondary last year, who do they have on their roster that can fit the bill? I think you gotta context it in terms of what is really important to them, scheme wise.
That's just my opinion.
Yes, and they have 11 draft picks last I heard.They have about 15 UFAs that will need to be replaced or signed. Maybe they do have enough room but it will be close.
I’ll just leave this here for you.
OK, but it doesn't say that they do that. It says CBs who allow you that kind of flexibility are important. I mean, leave whatever you want but I ask you, is this a lie? Of course it isn't. Of course it would be better.
But it's your story, you tell it.
For the record, Jim Swartz does blitz and he does it a lot, depending on the situation. He has very specific beliefs on when and where to dial it up. If you have watched Swartz over the years, you know this. If all you are doing is commenting on him since he's been with the Eagles, you may not have a clue.
I savvy, but you can make a case for the coaching staff, who is going to try to install a high TO defense, could look at Jones and say - this is not our guy to sink money into.It's weird for sure.
The only reason to not bring Jones back is because you just think given our cap situation, where our money is spread, it might not make sense to pay him a potential elite level contract for a CB. But to say let him walk because he's not that good? LOL.
And I am one that believes we have a "talented" roster. Not the most talented, but certainly better than the results of the last few years. I'd say we are arguably one of the top 10 most talented teams in the league. Granted, that could change quickly with FA and us losing guys like Jones and Quinn and replacing them on the cheap with slop.
Ok so you are one of those people that can’t admit they are wrong.
You said “no where in my post did I say “blitz”, I point it out and you can’t admit it.
And no Jim Schwartz does not, and never has, blitzed a lot. You can say he does but you are wrong, he is always in the bottom 5-10 in blitz %. This year he blitzed a bit more because the back end wasn’t holding up but he still ranked in the bottom 5. And yes I know he has a specific philosophy on when he likes to blitz, just like ever other DC.

It's literally insane.I find it pretty funny how many people talk about how loaded our roster is with “talent” yet those same people constantly bash about 75% of our roster (O line, WR and RB being the exception and even then they don’t want to pay them). Almost every free agent article I have read has Jones in the top 5-10 OVERALL yet here we are 10 pages in with lots of people saying he isn’t that good and not worth anything special.
Point being, here is another guy that most analysts and other teams consider very talented yet a lot of our fans don’t. So once again, where is all this alleged “talent” we have when one of our best players is considered to be average?
The WR who shows up half the season and drops balls like hot potatoes? The RB who taps out during some of the most crucial parts of the game? The QB who most people want to let walk or pay barely above a scrub?
Either this roster is extremely over rated, which is my opinion, or there’s a lot of fans that say we have one of the most talented rosters in the league but can’t point out more than a handful of players (outside the O line) which every team can do.
I live in Philly area.
You are not accurate on Schwartz. He's not a blitz guy and never has been. Sure, he's had to use it, even recently, because of injuries and his secondary getting mauled at time but he's not a blitz happy guy and the stats show it. In fact, one of the biggest criticisms up here is that he wouldn't blitz enough, especially when they were getting mauled through the air.
You go back and look at his one year in Buffalo, they were bottom of the league in blitz percentage, same with his time in Tennessee.
He's very judicious with the blitz.
