Cardinals pass rusher Jones tagged
Being designated a non-exclusive franchise player on his 27th birthday Monday guarantees pass rusher Chandler Jones $14 million next season with the Arizona Cardinals. But the better news in the Jones camp might be the recent trend of tagged pass rushers cashing in – Justin Houston ($101.5 million in 2015) and Von Miller ($114.5 million, $70M guaranteed) are the most recent examples. Jones comes with some baggage but is the same age as Miller, who had his own off-field strife in Denver. (FBN-CARDINALS-CHANDLERJONES-FRANCHISED, moved, The Sports Xchange, 477 words)
