True, but that whomever else has to be able to make the play when their number is called, which both Jones and Sanu proved they could do.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not crying that we lost them both.  Given the choice of holding onto our FA receivers or defenders, I would take the defenders.  But it sure would have been nice to hold on to one of them.
