At the time, I think he was one of the few people on the roster who could be released to free up a few million in cap space. He was a RFA and we put a tender on him.
that did not last too long as GB's starting center. People bitch about Halapio and Pulley being pushed backwards, yet that was exactly what happened to Jones.
Was Jones better than the other two? I'd say about equal.
our current OCs haven't been world-beaters but Jones has done very little since being traded. He started three games in 2018 because their starter was injured and was on the IR most of 2019. The narrative that the Giants would have been so much better if they kept him isn't based in reality.
Ha ha
Traded him for a 7th, I believe. Had Halapio and Pulley

Because he was getting to the point of a new contract - one likely in the $3 range and he's career trajectory was as a backup.
