Patriots trade DE Chandler Jones to Cardinals for guard Jonathan Cooper, 2nd round pick.

Damnit....why to AZ of all places.
I know NE is known for making bold trades like this, but trading a productive 26 year old pass rusher is a head scratcher.

Cause they need as much protection for Brady as they can get.
And not liking AZ getting a good pass rusher either...

Unless they think that Jones is a high risk for imploding.

I'm so jealous of AZ. They seem to have a GM and HC who put winning above anything else.

A 2nd round pick is obviously better than any compensation pick they'd get (3rd round max, etc), and they address a need on their line. Seems like a pretty balanced trade that's mutually beneficial.

They were talking about an incident with Jones and police before or during the playoff run and that the cops gave him a huge break so he could avoid arrest and court. I'm assuming that the Pats realize that Jones will get paid huge money to resign or during FA and with inside knowledge of his off the field behavior it didnt make sense for them.
Regardless, our joke of a O-line will have its hands full... Were going to be picking top 5 next draft
