In.

I don't think Jones is coming back. That looks like a tag and trade waiting to happen. So his salary slot can go into Peterson and some lower pedigree reinforcements (and possibly retaining Breeland) long-term. Meanwhile in the short term you have the guy you need for the stretch run and playoffs AND Chris Jones. You've improved the near term without substantially altering the long term as I think Jones is a fait accompli at this point.

I'd give up a 2 for that. I'd sure as shit hate doing it given that it's now the 49ers 2 (seriously Frank Clark - be better), but I'm there. And we get a little cap relief to boot because of his suspension.

I was against Peterson because I felt like you needed to keep the books clean to retain Jones. But I'm feeling more and more like Jones is going to walk and if that's the case, go ahead and use some of that dry powder to up your shot this year and you're in the same position next year as you'd have otherwise been (only with a little more stability at CB).
