I don't. Vegas is a bad place sometimes. A change of scenery, some counseling and some fresh air can do a person good.  He may not be finished and it won't cost anything or much to find out.

 

No. Why even think about using someone who is clearly in a crisis? And I mean the word "using" in the sense that all we are thinking about his how he can help us win football games. Health is more important. Fresh air? What is this, 1875?

[T&C]

1st player I thought of is Richie... we've had enough.

[blacklabel]

Even if the guy wasn't having serious issues right now I'd still say nah. Bills DL is already pretty well set. 

 

This post is real schmuckly.

There's an interesting article on Chandler Jones. Seems he is having some mental issues and Las Vegas just isn't a good place for him.  As a nearby hometown boy from Syracuse, Buffalo might jut be a healthy place to stay out of trouble and get himself back together.  Maybe for the playoff run or for next year. Having another terror who can get to the QB quickly is never a bad thing. 

What do you say? Is he worth the trouble if we can bring him in on a team friendly contract? Who do we dump? Shaq? That would be my pick. Personally, I'd like to see a reclamation project and get the most out of Jones for the rest of his career.... Jones, Floyd, G-Root and Von would be a terror. And we'd have fresh legs to get to Tua, Mahomes and Burrow come playoff time.

Wow, just wow.  Guess he’d look good in all white - like a straight jacket.   

Before we even mention the capology being too difficult.  
 

So let’s just hope he gets the help he needs before he harms himself or someone else.

He needs to stop playing football and get his mental health turned around taking more physical abuse on the gridiron 8s just fanning the fuel that's causing some of his issues no doubt.  I agree Vegas is probably not the best place with all the distractions.  He needs to prioritize his getting well then he likely can see he should be walking away from the game and find what keeps him on the path of healing.

 

 

[John from Riverside]

Absolutely not
 

This defense is stacked we need to stop putting all of our resources into the Defense

 

If they want to look for an offensive weapon, I’m all for it

I'm almost 50. But hand me $8-9 million dollars and plunk me in the middle of Vegas and I'd almost guarantee I'd make some...."not great" long term choices.

You do know that his brother is the best ever UFC fighter, Jon Bones Jones? They spent some time growing up in Rochester. Jon has had drug problems in his past. So always remember, location does not discriminate. If you're not careful, trouble will find you no matter where you are. But yes, it's much easier to fk yourself in Vegas. 24/7, 365 baby.

If Beane is going to go out and bring in a big free agent signing at the trade deadline and restructure a bunch of contracts to do it I would rather he add tot he offensive side of the ball.  Our defense now is stellar and going to get better with Von back in two weeks. 

 

Another weapon to help Josh keep up with the Phins is where resources should be spent.

Agree and the fact this gentleman needs some help. Don’t think Vegas has anything to do with it 

[Doc Brown]

He was just an average pass rusher last year and was clearly in decline (both physically and apparently mentally).  Hope he gets the help he needs.  

[Thurman#1]

While he's violating a protection order?

 

Geez, no.

 

I wish him the best of luck. Always like him.

[FITZamishRIFLE]

Hard pass on Chandler Jones.  Been following all his posts.  If you think Diggs socials are borderline.....Well this guy is lost.  He needs treatment.  I hope he gets it too

He's 33 years old. 

You’ll notice that I wasn’t talking about him specifically. I was/am referring to OTHER, younger players (like rookies) who suddenly come into a ton of money and are then dropped into the heart of Las Vegas where significant temptations are right up in their face and lurking around every corner. It’s a recipe for disaster. 

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Jons had his well documented demons, now Chandler too. Let him get his life together, not a position of need.

[K D]

Your boy Beane who you guys think walks on water...

 

1. Traded for Antonio Brown who luckily nixed the deal at the last moment then proceeded to get kicked off of 3 teams in like a year.

 

2. Offered the Von deal to Chandler Jones but he chose to go to Vegas instead. So he then pivoted to Von.

I miss Richie Incognito but this guy might work 

[ALLinALLEN]

No. He's in a worse place mentally than Richie Incognito when he wanted his dad's head removed during his funeral. This man needs help help.

[Mr. WEO]

OP wants to take a chance on an old washed up Raider who was just arrested and appears so crazy that AB is asking him if he's ok?

 

This has to be the nuttiest thread of the year so far.

Are we sure we need a player with mental problems?
