He simply said, "it ain't what 95% of you think". Formulate your own scenarios. Maybe he wanted too much money? Maybe he didn't get along with Shula?Maybe the Rams didn't get along with his agent? Maybe he appeared not to have his head in it? Maybe his production was significantly enhanced by Donald's presence? Obviously Tennessee is trading him because he's a free agent after 2024. They also traded DHop to KC. But they have the #1 defense in the NFL. #3 vs the pass; #7 vs the run. Been following the horns since the Coliseum had a Roman playing there.

I think all the decisions that we make in the moment we feel like are in the best interest. I’m not going to pretend and act like every decision is accurate. You try to be able to learn from it and apply it moving forward, but you know that you’re playing against a really well-respected player, mentally and physically tough.

But lets be real. He's a nice player. But not anything like a pro bowl talent. I seriously doubt he's the difference between 3-4 and 5-2. He's not a difference maker.

If the defense keeps getting better, they'll have a solid argument.Then again Tennessee unloaded Jones too so maybe there's something else going on. Yeah you can say it's a lost season for them so now they're sellers but Jones is young and good, why not try and keep him around for the future?IMO it is pretty clear that this wasnt based on a 'future is now " approach. EJ is way way better then Reeder/Rozeboom, we all knew it. If Sosa is be believed, it cant be about EJ wanting an extension because that is what most people think. The only thing you can get out of what McVay said is regret.....

Biggest blunder, absolute self inflicted wound in this 2024 season, now half over. We’d be 5-2 were it not for the weird jettison of our top Defensive LB for a bag of chips. Now it threatens our chances this week. In Mcvay’s own words:“I think I’ve been pleased with some of the things that guys have done. It’d be hard to deny the production that he’s had when you look at what he’s done at Tennessee and even just in his first week (in Seattle) last week,” McVay said. “He’s a great player and he did a lot of good things for us.
