[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 654019"] I highly doubt that. Perry's situation is similar to that of Jerry Hughes, a #31 pick for Indy, to take one example. Indy gave up on him after 3 years of undistinguished play and traded him to Buffalo for Kelvin Sheppard. Buffalo thought enough of Sheppard to draft Alonzo in the first round, rendering him expendable. Now, we don't know what Hughes would have gotten in free agency, but if Buffalo paid for him with Sheppard, I don't see that equating to "several million" if by that you mean at least $3 mil. Can you illustrate a first round FA with a 4-year-bust resume that was paid that kind of money? I can't think of one. Maybe there's a first round QB who got some money thrown at him, but that's a different kettle of fish. I expect we'll see a repeat of this scenario with Datone Jones after 2016. After 3 years in the system and his tweener profile, that's an unlikely proposition. Reconstituted as OLB, he's now an edge rusher with little to recommend him in that role. Serviceable rotational guy. Expecting a "fourth year jump" is another case of wishful thinking. [/QUOTE]
