I mean, you know, I love Jones, and I'm not certain we shouldn't try to build the next three or four years' defenses around him-but I'm not sure we CAN.
It's not nearly as easy an equation as it seems to be.
Belichick's way was to send Seymour packing in his prime. It turned out to be the right decision.
I don't know. I'm just saying if you have an immediate 'NO' reaction before considering what the possible implications are up and down the roster, you may not be having a logical reaction.

You keep saying “the best defenses don’t have jones”
They absolutely have elite players in the front 7. You can’t have a great defense without that.
