3 bold trade ideas involving Cardinals OLB Chandler Jones
Chandler Jones
part1
Nobody will argue Chandler Jones has been one of the most dominant pass rushers in the NFL over the last nine
years. The Arizona Cardinals‘ defensive end recently made news when he requested a trade because he’s not
happy with his current contract and his future with the team, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. There are currently no
indications the Cards plan to trade him but they could eventually cave.
Jones is coming off a down year, in which he only appeared in five games and registered just one sack and a forced fumble. Nevertheless, he has only missed one game from 2015 to 2019, so his health should not be a concern moving forward.
PART3
If Arizona grants Jones’ request and trades him, they could easily ask for a second-round pick. Of course, the
team that gets the three-time Pro Bowl nod will also have to give him a raise. That’s where the Jacksonville
Jaguars come in. They don’t really need Jones, as they already have Josh Allen and Kavon Caisson but the
addition of the 2012 first-round pick could help their defensive line go from good to great.
However, the Jaguars could also put together different trade packages to land Jones. After all, they are loaded at
certain position groups, so they can get creative. Keep in mind there are no reports currently linking the outside
linebacker and Jacksonville. In fact, Brad Spielberg and Austin Gayle of Pro Football Focus believe the three ideal
landing spots for Jones may be the Buffalo Bills, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Baltimore Ravens.
Here are three trade ideas involving the Cards defender and the Jaguars.
