Josh Jones traded to the Houston Texans

[MadCardDisease]

That is a bad deal. A starting tackle has to be worth a starter at some other position. Very unlikely to get a starter from a 5th rounder.

Jones is a backup tackle.

This is a terrible choice. You are directly improving the team that you own their #1 pick.

Josh Jones is a replacement level player - unless he's taking over some someone significantly worse (not sure how that would be possible), it's unlikely that Jones will be worth 1 win or more than that.

Yes, he was probably in the top half of assets for us (like Simmons) but that's more an indictment of our team than anything. Or Monti is a New England mantra fanatic who will sacrifice talent for attitude. Either way, good times!

Jones is a backup tackle.

Not with the shortage of tackles league wide he isn't.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Cardinals are leaving no doubt it's a rebuild.

He was a backup for the Cardinals. He is going to be a backup for the Texans. He is a backup tackle.

Honestly would have felt better if they just moved Simmons and Jones on draft day. Again you cant tell me they arent two of the better 53 on the roster now. Their value was likely higher draft day and we could have picked up a couple young players to develop NOW.

Its like the tampering with Gannon. Gotta be better with the timing Monti.

 

[Dayman]

I guess this trade is fine, although I still think Jones can develop. Keeping a broken down Beachum over Jones doesn't help the team win games, but it's pretty obvious this team doesn't care a whole lot about winning games this year.

If I was Rondale, I wouldn't feel too comfortable right now. I could easily see him going next.

Stop confusing us with facts.

As it should be. We just have to remember when this season goes up in flames were all about next year, next draft and bringing in MO type of players responsibly.

JAG. But one is 'tradeable' and one isn't. Now keep your eye on #66.

He was a backup for the Cardinals. He is going to be a backup for the Texans. He is a backup tackle.

The Texans right tackle Tytus Howard is going to be out for 2 months and based on Josh Jones 12 starts last year, Jones is better than Howard even when both are healthy. Josh Jones is going to have a starting job at the season opener and if he plays like he did last year he isn’t going to lose it either.

Monti and Sears making some moves in Minnesota lol

Sheesh all the draft picks including three from Houston now. This doesn't even include the 4th round comp pick they'll for Zach Allen I don't think.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Simmons for a 7th round pick

Then Jones and that 7th round pick for a 5th round pick

And how much money did we save?

Howard is recovering from a broken hand suffered 2 weeks ago. He should be back within 2-4 weeks from now.

lol,

I can absolutely tell you that when it comes to Simmons.

 

[Mainstreet]

Apparently, the Cardinals felt they had plenty of depth at tackle.

Jones will be a free agent at the end of the year. Houston got a one year rental with no assurances that he will be on their team beyond this season. I don't think a 5th round draft choice for a backup tackle that will be free agent next year is unreasonable compensation.

Makes sense to me.

 

[HairZach]

Simmons for a 7th round pick

Then Jones and that 7th round pick for a 5th round pick

1 mill for Simmons. Almost 3 mill for Jones. I’m not as sure about Jones number

 

[BurqueCardFan]

Yeesh! Talk about burning it down. Makes me want to buy a season ticket.

Exactly. I f’n pissed i renewed my tix this year. I can’t even put this into words.

 

[kerouac9]

1 mill for Simmons. Almost 3 mill for Jones. I’m not as sure about Jones number

$2.75 million for Jones

Cardinals Deal Backup Tackle Josh Jones To Texans

Had surplus at position; Beachum figures to be third tackle

[Stout]

Jones and a 7th for Texans 5th.

If that's right, Monti has suddenly decided to suck today. That would make two lousy trades.

 

[Stout]

So we basically traded Simmons and Josh Jones for a 5th round pick. Yeesh Keim. Somewhat yeesh Monti.

VERY yeesh Monti.
