Allen Robinson has done nothing close in his career what Jones has done lol. That is the problem people are severely overrating his ability and are projecting rather than focusing on actual numbers and what he has done.

And this is not a conversation about cutting him it is about paying him based on what he has done with his injury concerns and placing a reasonable value on that. 

He didn’t take the deal offered him last year cause he wanted to bet on himself. He gambled and lost. Now the team is still offering him a deal and he still thinks he is worth more lol. Okay let him go get it. This team has proven he is not a key cog in its success. The jags will be fine without him while he is getting 16 mill a year on the jets

Jones had a breakout season and then got hurt for the season while he was 24. Sound familiar?

I'm not saying to pay him 16 million dollars but I think he's being undervalued by some on this board. 2016 was terrible for everyone. There are very good coaches in place and Robinson would most likely benefit from that just like everyone else. Robinson would make everyone on this offense better. 

And you have no idea what the team is offering him. They might not have made him a single offer up to this point. All we know is that they won't franchise him.

This offense didn't produce as well as you think this past season. The defense scored 8 TDs. The passing game needs upgrades and banking on Cole and Westbrook taking a big leap or a rookie making an immediate impact seems short sighted.

Yes but Julio was still under contract. You are talking about cutting a guy. We are discussing paying a player based on his resume and injuries at the conclusion of his contract. 

You are correct we don’t know what the team offered him but they have shown they will pay you if you perform. I would go on a limb and say the team gave him a solid offer. He thinks he’s worth more. That’s fine. I want him to get all the money he can get. I just don’t want us overpaying for him. He’s gonna get big bucks in free agency and I say let him get it.
