Even in this trading spree, Ron is fucking clueless. I don’t see how Jon, who publicly shat on the team (albeit rightfully so), is still here but the defensive end with the highest ceiling we trade for pennies on the dollar.
Also, if we can give Jacoby $15 million to sit on his ass this year, we could’ve given Chase $17 million next year. Fuck Ron.
Jon Allen, who seems to be having a down year, has still been better than Chase Young, actually has proven he can be an elite player, gives a shit, and is on a long term contract. This is the kind of player you want to keep.
Because Allen is a proven, consistent starter who’s also a leader and a Pro Bowl player. Chase and Montez, while showing flashes, never shown consistency. They are both great players, don’t get me wrong, but as fans we are overvaluing two DEs whose career high in sacks in a season are 7.5 and 9. Numbers wise, both of them might actually have the best seasons of their careers, but they are both playing on a 31st ranked defense while sharing a DL with two pro bowl DTs.
We could probably get more for him in the off-season
