Jones value is somewhere between a number on receiver and a solid number 2, not a #1 as he has not come class to putting up number one numbers. I like him, I think most on here like him, but the question is what is his true value? The Bengals recent success has been great drafting and determining the right value for players whose contract is up. I see him for us no more than 4.5 million a year for 3 or 4 years, but other teams may think 6 to 7 million. That is the dilemma for our FO to face and likely they would pass if someone offers him 2 million a year (2 players) more than they have him valued.

We might not know his true value until we see what we spend (picks and pay) on his replacement(s) and how that works out for us.  I really don't see us getting a decent #2 WR for 4.5 million unless it's some FA on his last legs, and if we replace him through the draft that is another pick we aren't using on a position of actual need in 2015.

Life...is tricky.
