At his new role at SI, Jones is expected to be a multi-platform national NFL reporter. He will contribute features, commentary, podcasts and videos; his work will appear on the website and in the magazine. In the last two years, Jones had talks with ESPN and Fox, but did not opt to leave the Observer until this offer came along. He will remain based in Charlotte.

Movin' on up. At least we still have Joe Person and David Newton.

Ughh I am going to have to break down and follow Joe Person on twitter now, this is a bummer.

To clarify, a bummer that I have to follow Joe Person, not for Jones. Seems to be a great spot for him, he seems like he is a talented writer in general and would benefit from being able to do more than just Panther's news.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
