There's a reason Aaron Donald got a $135 million contract last year, and it has nothing to do with how he holds up in the run game.
The fastest path to a QB is straight at him and Jones has an undeniable gift there. Don't get so caught up in trying to find the perfect player that you miss the exceptional one.

You're wrong though.
Donald got that money because he's a STUD at all facets of the game.
Sacks are the splashy plays, but the fact that Donald controls the game in his area all around is why he got so much money.
As I've said since last January when I wanted to sign and trade Ford and release Houston, sacks are only part of the story.
If Jones wants Donald money, we should tag and trade him.
if he wants something in line with an excellent pass rusher but below average run defender, then we can talk. If he wants DONALD MONEY, then he needs to play as well all around as Donald.
