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

It's just one that you - and all the other Chris Jones absolutists - are determined to ignore or dismiss.

Who are the multiple starters we will be losing?

Mathieu, Clark, Nnadi, Ward, Thornhill, Hitchens, Wilson, and Kpass will all be back. Counting Jones that’s 9 of 11. You’re losing Breeland and Ragland in terms of starters.

First of all, two is multiple. Second of all, you also lose Fuller. And Ogbah. And Suggs. And I believe I also mentioned depth and players that need upgrading.

Eh multiple is usually used to mean more than 2, hence why you didn’t just say a couple because it sounds larger.

So wee have to replace a couple of starters, one of whom is a JAG 2 down player in Reggie Ragland, so let’s not pretend like it’s impossible to do. We replaced half of our defense last offseason, I think we’ll live having to replace a couple starters and some of our depth guys. 2 of our first 3 picks will likely be used on a CB and a LB.

What I find funny is, even if you trade Chris Jones, you’re still likely replacing most of those guys AND him. Whoever you sign in free agency is ALSO a risk. This is silly.

Fuller is essentially a starter. And replacing a JAG in Ragland (Reggie Jagland?) means that we need to UPGRADE that position. And the problem with THAT is even replacing a jag costs money and/or resources. We should be trying to make the defense better, not stay the same.

this is why I imagine chris jones will be gone, and why am I okay with it.

Why do we, you, me and many others, seem to like to argue with a brick wall? I feel like that is what you are doing now.

Simple answer? I guess I like to argue too much lol.

My thought is that surely they will get it here in a minute with a few more obvious reasons pointed out to them. It hardly ever works that way though.
