Definitely not on a long term basis. MLJ seems to want to play as the #1 WR, and we can't offer him that role or comparable money.
Explain to me why we can't. We have a ton of money under the cap and could structure a front loaded deal that would make Jones' salary average or below average for most of his deal. That's how the Bengals generally keep their guys.
I see no reason why you can't sign him. At this point in the team's "life cycle" you need to have him back to make a run next year.
