why did patriots trade chandler jones

You also have to look at the 2012 draft and see the idiocy of some GM’s.

Thuney will get a massive deal from another team in Free agency this season and we will see how he fares…. Sweet. Past years.Come the second half of the season… there was absolutely no question that this team was both old and slow. Play Now

Sweet. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. He walked from Jones because Jones isn’t willing to improve his game and evolve in 3-4 looks.BB can draft a Chandler Jones type at #23 at far less the cost and that player will take the coaching and likely not smoke angel dust as well.it’s always tough when the pats lose great players and it’s a long long list. That’s why in 2015, we drafted Trey Flowers and took the 2nd round pick for Chandler jones.Hindsight is 20-20 but had we not traded Chandler and signed him, HT would have been a casualty, and his postseason play alone warrants him staying (see okung vs HT before butler’s pick)Greatest GM and Coach in sports history. It’s a crap shoot. Players of Chandler Jones' caliber aren't offered in trades very often. Jones told Jeff Howe of TheAthletic.com that he grasps the business of the NFL, and the fact that the Patriots are smart about not devoting too much salary cap space to any one player is part of the way they do business.“When I spoke to Bill [Belichick] when I got traded, he told me it was best for the team; this was the best decision for our team,” Jones said. It should also be recalled that Jones once had a bizarre off-the-field incident that might have turned the team off from being willing to commit so much to him.I was so excited to watch Jones crush offenses for the PATS.

Arizona isn’t a big market and will never get attention from the MSM, but the commenters here just prove their ignorance.Patriots are falling apart. That was a bummer.Chandler Jones has been awesome with the Cardinals….aaaannnndddd they still suck.

Cap space saved as well. He’s a free agent, set to cash in. Can make the same argument with every QB signing, for sure. Best Tight End on the team was a 38 y.o. THuney performs well vs everyone.Chandler Jones will still be patting himself on his back this time next year on a 4-12 team and watching RBs whiz right past him as he surges too far up field on the pass rush for the 10th time in a game that day.

J. Meyers- 4th option receiver at best. How refreshing…This isn’t accurate on either count. As you note, he gave Gilmore a big contract, and before that he gave Revis an even bigger contract (though for only one year). Jones by a hair. Cooper was the seventh-overall pick in the 2013 draft but had fallen out of favor in Arizona after getting sidelined with an injury.. Cards-Pats blockbuster from @diannaESPN and me: Cards trade … Jones signed a five year, $82.5 million contract with the Cardinals one year after the trade, receiving $53 million in guarantees. Despit the high price tag…he has played to that contract value, as opposed to many free agents whose production falls off a cliff.Talent wise… NE really disnt get enough back… 3 years after the trade.. NE is probably hone to facing the favt that the entire “haul” for Jones will be gone and they will have nary a single shred of that trade lesft on their roster.Joe Thuney is the best LG in the conference and should have been All Pro the last 4 years in a row, playing in a SB every year except for this year. 2 years in a row.
