I thought he was a solid tackle. Why would Cinci be letting him go? If he becomes available, wouldn't he be the best tackle on the market??

Jones has struggled w/ injuries the last 2 years and otherwise appears to have declined a bit in ability... he's not a franchise LT at this point and Cinci would be wise to use the 6th overall to replace him... in which case he'd be cut after the draft cuz why pay the guy franchise LT money to be a backup. I just doubt he'd command big money cuz there's really a lot of OT talent coming in the draft... i tend to think 6 or maybe 7 guys from the position will get drafted in the 1st round alone. I'm def not saying this is a good plan for us but just something we might be able to fall back on...
