Corresponding PFF scores:
2017 (1 game): 50.7
2018 (9 games): 47.5
2019 (12 games): 63.5
2020 (9 games): 68.1
2021 (16 games): 70.2
2022 (10 games): 51.3
Apple last 3: 55.3 (2020), 60.9 ('21), 52.9 ('22).
Flowers last 3: 54.4, 51.3, 58.6 (2020, '21, '22)
I am not sure this means the end for Apple. Contract details will shed some light. It could be the end for Flowers, J. Davis, or George. Eli is likely the most expensive of the bunch, however.
One thing is that if we think Jones has boundary/slot versatility, we could go light at corner and only carry 5 instead of 6. With Hill's ability to play the slot, we'd still have 6 rostered guys who could play corner. Might allow us to go heavier sonewhere else (DL, for instance).
