Detroit Lions are in the process of rebuilding in 2021, and this is not exactly the time when you want your two big recipients to hit the open market. Both Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay are free agents this offseason, and the Lions have already replaced quarterback Matthew Stafford makes it seem even more unlikely that one or both of the wideouts will be back next season. They would probably like to join a candidate to pursue a ring or get paid. Jones recently said he wants to do both.
On Thursday, Jones spoke to SiriusXM NFL Radio about his future free agency, and he said chasing a Super Bowl is definitely an important goal for 2021, but he also wants to be paid.
“At this point in my career, this is what I want,” said Jones, through the Detroit Free Press, about winning a Super Bowl. “This is what I want, but at the same time, it won’t be – I’m not going to just sacrifice myself and not get what I deserve just because I worked hard to get where I am wrong and it happened the first time and I did it, and I think I overcame the second time. “
Jones, who will turn 31 next month, reached his career record with 76 passes for 978 yards and nine touchdowns in 2020. His time with Lions has been impressive, as he recorded nine touchdowns received in three of the five seasons in Detroit. Jones played in all 16 games for the first time in three years last season and showed no signs of slowing down.
“I think there are variables, obviously,” said Jones. “I know that if there are certain teams knocking on my door, we are going to get something that works both ways. But at the same time, I’m 31, I’m going to my tenth season, but I’m still going through people and I’m doing the things I’ve always done. So I have no sign of slowing down. And I think what you get will reflect that. “
A future landing point for Jones could be a meeting with Stafford in Los Angeles with the Rams. Sean McVay would probably love to add another deep threat to his arsenal, but Rams currently has the third worst internationalization situation in the league, according to Over The Cap. If we are looking at teams with a lot of space on the edge and who also have title hopes , maybe we should keep an eye out for a possible marriage between Jones and the Indianapolis Colts. TY Hilton is a free agent and the Colts may be in the market for a new start # 1. Obviously, there are some doubts about Carson Wentz’s talent, but Indy has a big list that is ready to compete now. Another team interested in Jones could be the Baltimore Ravens, who had a large receiving team that was battling takedowns in 2020. Jones would help Lamar Jackson and his passing attack improve immediately, which could help them take another step forward. in the search for a Super Bowl.
