All the risks we talked about for weeks still exist, if the body breaks down we will look back and hate this deal
But I do think this makes more sense than letting him go now that they’ve made it a “5-year” deal where the cap hits can be lower for the first three years that he’s actually guaranteed to be here.
Replacing Chris was always going to be the hardest task yet compared to other players like Tyreek, Tyrann, etc.
Giving Wilkins $25m AAV over Chris at $32m might have worked out, but that was too risky in the sense that it could totally ruin your defensive chemistry and how those guys view management if they see us send Chris AND Sneed away.
This deal is about 2024-2026 and we are objectively better with a healthy Chris Jones as our defensive leader still.
