You hit the nail. You can’t get a third rounder for JJ. He was on the open market and teams didn't want him. The Jets took Plaxico Burress straight out of prison rather than signing Jones. In other words, Cameron Wake for James Jones is a pipedream.
Jones is a good fit for McCarthy’s system, though. He’s a very good No. 3 receiver. Frankly, I think he could be a No. 2 receiver, but not in a pass oriented offense. He’s never going to be somebody you’ll want consistently featured in your offensive attack. He’s always going to be a complimentary player.
In today’s league, three million nets you a complimentary player. In our offense, he’s perfect for what he does, so I don't see the point in dealing him. You don't trade just for the sake of making a trade.
