Save that 12.6 million we would use on Jonah this year and give it to Reader and Awuzie on contract extensions. Keeping Jonah one year is not worth letting Reader and Awuzie get away. This is of course assuming neither Reader and Awuzie demand big raises. Extend Reader for a couple more years, give him a couple million dollars more per year. Extend Awuzie and give him 4 million more per year.
Word is Jonah has been looking good at RT. I would imagine he will be the guy at RT this year and I am more than happy with the starters and depth we have this year and don't really want to change that. But I love Reader and I think he is the heart of this defense. So if we had to trade Jonah to keep Reader for a couple more seasons I would go that way but I would be nervous about the line and that's something we've done far to often.
