Chris Jones - Making Him the Highest Paid Defender in the League

I wonder who the trade partner is. Ballard and Indy makes sense but he loves his draft picks.

I wouldn't be completely shocked if it's the Bills:

1.) We've traded with them in the past.
2.) They have a ton of cap space.
3.) Arguably on the verge of making a deep run.
4.) Likely losing Jordan Phillips in free agency.
5.) AFC East finally theirs for the taking especially if Brady leaves.

If they trade him inside the AFC, it’ll be a team that’s less of a threat like the Dolphins IMO.

The only reason I’m buying the Colts as a possibility is that you can get 34 and 44. That would give you 3 picks inside the top 44 (and 4 in the top 64) If they offer that you have to take it.

I don’t see the Bills giving up anything more than 22.

I hear ya do Veach and Reid really view Jared Allen with no weapons a threat though? As long as it's not the Ravens/Patriots/Texans I think I'm fine with it.

A top 15 pick plus a 3rd or 4th would be nice.

If it’s a late 1st, we better get at least another 2.

[TambaBerry]

Hopefully it's a good pick if it's a late first I'll be upset if it's too 20 and a 3rd I'd be fine

Now is the perfect time to do it if you’re the Chiefs. Fans are already worried enough about real life issues, the Chiefs just won’t garner as much attention.

I bet he’s traded by next Wednesday, officially.

I think after the CBA vote tomorrow night. The NFL is gonna delay the start of free agency.

I think trades would still happen though

Two seconds would feel a little cheap imo considering how much the Rams just paid for Ramsey. Plus didn't we get two seconds for Dee Ford? Nah need a first somewhere in that deal which Is why Miami makes sense to me. Miami also don't have much of a pass-rush do they? So it all adds up.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Bills have Ed Oliver though.

Thing is NFL teams view picks 25-60 as very similar, they are typically very close in terms of grades. So 34 + 44 will be viewed as 2 good immediate starters.

If it was pick 14 + another 4th, they’d essentially view the top 15 pick as a potentially great player and the 4th rounder as a lottery ticket of sorts. Once you get out of the top 100, it’s a lot of guesswork.

Find it hard to believe we'd trade him to a divisional rival but Mayock and Gruden fricken love Jones. They may have given us an offer too good to pass up. They have the firepower to pull it off. Their defensive line would be pretty damn good.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

No way they trade within the division. In fact, I’d be surprised if they trade him to an AFC team. They would have to get an offer that’s too good to refuse.

I expect him to go to the NFC, unless some AFC team really steps up big time with an offer.

We’ll find out soon enough, I guess . . . . . .

I'll call my shot and guess Tampa Bay.

Bunch of cap space, they blow it all on Chris Jones and Tom Brady.

This is a move LeBrady the GM makes because he doesn't care about draft picks or the future.

Yup. Shaq Barrett and Jones as the pass rush.

Kind of a bummer.

Just hope we get good picks in return. It sure sounds like a deal is done, so the compensation has to be pretty good.

Let’s hope we get 2 Chris Jones out of the deal and it’s not a huge mistake.

[The Franchise]

Colts, Bucs or Dolphins.
