They waited a year too late on Justin Houston and Eric Berry probably should have not been given another contract, but they would have looked like heels with the whole cancer thing. They just waited a year too long on him too.
A Chris Jones extension would not be a mistake. He has shown up big time in two Super Bowl runs: 2019 and this one. It’s no coincidence his play in 2019 was a BIG part of the 4th quarter comeback against the Niners. His play last night is probably the biggest reason we are in our 3rd Super Bowl in 4 years.
Give the man the bag. He’s earned it. Just make sure there’s a couple voidable years at the end so you’re not locked into more than 3 years on an extension and we’re good. Cut Clark and move on from OBJ and you’re still good to lock up Sneed and one of the LBer’s (Gay or Bolton) long term.
Make it happen, Vartch.
