that'd be surprising... and that move would definitely prevent him from getting top dollar, but he's still good enough to get real money.

I don't know that it should surprise anyone... Cinci is in desperate need of a healthy dominant LT to protect Carson Palmer and at pick 6 they will get to choose from 2 or maybe 3 of the top OTs in this year's draft. Why pay Jones a hefty sum to be a backup LT or even move to RT after the draft?

I think you're giving the Cincy front office too much credit, although after the bad draft they had last year maybe they have learned.
