flaming_thumbtack Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Jones may be worth it for continuity and consistency alone. The dude has been a constant for us ever since putting on a jersey. We are already replacing two OLinemen, and with all due respect to JRob, relying on him to hit three spots on the line is a big ask. He's worth more to us than he is to anyone else IMO so we should try to be pretty competitive with the contract unless other teams start putting up outrageous numbers.

Jensen is not as good IMO and is over 30 too and Bozeman had one good year in a contract year, he's not been as good his entire career before that at guard I think all of those guys will get pretty good contracts but don't be surprised if Jones does too. It will certainly be at least 9 mill if its a one year deal IMO, potentially less for a multi year I don't think the Titans should do it What? Jensen is way better than Ben Jones. Way better. I wouldn’t sign Jones for any more than 7.5M personally. There’s no way they can pay him 9-10M per year without major restructures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgo Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 I love Ben Jones, one of my favorite Titans. But he’s not a top 7 center. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jensen hasn’t reached the heights of 2017-2019 these past 2 years He allowed the most penalties of any C this year and something like the 4th most pressures. What he brings is a nasty streak in run blocking and highlight plays Jones is dead consistent as probably a top 5-10 C every year I also wouldn’t pay him that money because of his age but there aren’t many centres who are “way better” than him and I don’t think any of the C you listed are “way better” Jensen and Bozeman will get paid more though for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelce is far and away the best run blocking C in the NFL, it's not a debate at all. Jensen is really good in the run game but guys like Creed Humphrey and David Andrews are definitely better centers and are better run blockers at this time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a nasty run blocking guard that learned how to snap. Creed Humphrey and Andrews may be more athletic and they play with more precise technique and finesse, but there is no center that fucking mauls guys the way Ryan Jensen does. Anyway, I'm sure Ben Jones will be back on a manageable contract and continue to be a reliable/consistent team leader who blocks well in the zone scheme for another year or two. It's just not going to be 9-10M per year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's why I said he's great for highlight plays in the run game, but on a snap to snap basis he doesn't hold a candle to Kelce Jones may decide to come back at a lower price, but he would have every right to ask for at least 10, which would put him probably outside the top 10 highest paid C's after Bozeman and Allen sign Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Still expect Jones to return for 2022 and for them to draft his long term replacement in the 3rd/4th round, will probably see a deal structured similar to Jayon Brown's where there are voidable years to spread the cap hit out.
