The whole "game disappearances" thing is hyperbole. He plays 100mph every play and is one of the most disruptive players in the league. As with CB play not being all about picks, DE play isn't all about sacks.
I agree that his injury history injury is worrisome, but I think you have to gamble on getting at least 3 more strong years from him and construct the contract in such a way that reflects that. In other words, all guaranteed money in first 3 years.
I think I could be convinced of a 3 year deal if the ability to escape from it after 3 is structured as you say with the up front guarantees.
In my personal opinion, I thought he lost a lot of juice down the last stretch of games of the season, including playoffs. I thought Gregory showed up a little more even.
Felt similarly about Byron at corner. Fast outta the gate for sure but definitely sorely lacking as a closer. And again I thought his running mate, in this case Awuzie, had better performances over the last few games.
Not a huge Jones fan and your picks comment may be somewhat accurate but when I heard that 22 cornerbacks had at least 3 picks in 2018, and 23 corners had at least 3 in 2017, it kinda further soured me on his game changing ability and being paid as a alpha dog. And yes, Im aware of pass break ups. Just my opinion.
