No one tell his agent.

Congrats. Free all expense paid trip to Belize!

I like this honor even better

Made it onto the first ever player voted All-Pro team

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-all-pro-team/

I mean it's really just him, Parsons or Nick Bosa, right?

Am I missing anyone?

Really feels like he oughta win it but I'm secretly hoping it's Parsons so we can maybe avoid giving him Aaron Donald money...

So, we may have both the MVP and the DPOY on this team? Excellent!

Imagine if Mahomes wins MVP and Jones wins DPOTY. Has that ever happened in history?

God it would be awesome.

Ass, cash or grass.

There are no free trips.

Seriously, it would be incredible.

Bosa did have 18.5 sacks, hard to see him not winning it especially with the media being unable to stop gargling the balls of everything involving the 49ers. Jones will certainly get some votes, though.

I am kind of shocked. I thought Bosa was a lock\no brainer

Wait, I thought PFF sucked though...

This isn't the 'real' DPOY.

It's the math DPOY.

I feel like Bosa's probably in the driver's seat as well. 18.5 sacks is an easy sell and being the most important player on a 13-4 squad is going to stand out more than being the 3rd most important player on a 14-3 squad.

But Jones has a better argument for it than many pundits would have you believe.

The guy signed for less than Frank Clark after Frank had sucked shit and then he signed after Buckner and took less than him. He wants an extension, but I don't think he's going to demand being the highest paid defender in history. Aaron Donald is the only the defender to have over $30 mil in AAV. No way he demands that. I could see him asking for $26-$28 mil a year which puts him at top 3.

Maybe see if he would take less AAV for an extra year. I'd like for him to retire as a Chief and DT's age pretty well and Chris has stayed pretty healthy overall.

I understand figured that was a lock too as well as any other publication giving out awards. Bosa dominated this year.
