Cards Sign DT Justin Jones

[Stout]

So we still using that Houston pick for a DT, @Stout and @Mulli??!

I seriously doubt it, now, although it should still be a high priority.

 

[Stout]

It's about Raising the Floor bro.

That's absolutely what it's about. Which would be fine, if we had done work in last year's FA class. Since we didn't, raising the floor isn't good enough.

 

[Stout]

I don't think you avoid drafting a DL because of these guys at all. I think this means you don't have to reach for guys just to fill roster spots.

I can be down with that. Unfortunately, I think this means Monti doesn't go DT before round 3.

Low key, there are a lot of DL around that area of the draft that I like.

DeWayne Carter for one. I could also see Sweat falling to that area because fans always value jumbo run stuffers more than NFL teams.

We shall see. The good thing is, the sky is definitely not falling after the start of FA

Nah 10' rim, standing reach of 5'10 +2'.45 of arm length puts his standing reach at between 7'8 - 7'10. That's a 33" to 35" vertical needed to dunk, which he clears by 3".

No one said there would be math, Chris.

 

[Garthshort]

I still would like a draft a tackle early but glad we made some moves to improve this part of the team.

You mean a DT?

 

[Cheesebeef]

In that case, I'll start calling them Big John pass rushers. Don't @ me, bro!

Lol… I was wondering why you started using Big John all over the board.

 

[Stout]

One big SPLASH with Danielle Hunter would get me really excited about the moves we made today.

Lol… I was wondering why you started using Big John all over the board.

Blame @Mulli, who isn't allowed to @ me.

 

[Vacard]

Hunter is signing with the Texans, bank on that

 

[Goodyear Card]

Super Bowl champs sign Chris Jones.
Cardinals sign Justin Jones. Seems about right.

Ex Super Bowl champs sign Chirs Jomes.
Future Super Bowl champs sign Justin Jomes.

 

[BirdGangThing]

very nice

BTW, Jones was #24 on The Athletic’s top 150 FA list:

Jones has really good quickness and lateral range for the position, and his instincts and nose for the ball make him very productive, as he anticipates blocks well. His get-off and ability to get up and down the line of scrimmage are his biggest strengths. He raised his stock considerably with a career-best season in 2023. — Mueller

Sounds like an ascending player who will be in a rotation. Fills a need.

I'll take The Athletic evaluation over PFF any day.

 

[CFLredzoned]

Phillips is the image dancing in my nightmares here too

At least we're only on the hook for 2 years. That's what I like about these signings.

 

[BritCard]

This was my least favorite move of the day on the face of it.

As K9 said, I think the least likely to outperform his contract.

But I looked at the number compared to Zach Allen who got $15.25m last year.

Jones is the first number, Allen the second.

TFL 10 10
Sacks 4.5 5.5
Pressures 22 25
QB Hits 17 20
QBKD 12 12

Jones is almost exactly 1 year older than Allen and did it a season later. But going off their last season paying $11m per in a higher market vs $15.25m last year isn't as bad as I thought.

Jones is a solid vet 3T coming off his best year that hasn't missed a game for 2 years. I'd be happier if it was $8m per year but it's nit picking.
