After touching on some of the worst contracts Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson has handed out during his tenure, we decided to take a look at some of the best.
And there are plenty.
Here’s a look at the best contracts Robinson has been responsible for during his time with the Titans.
Ben Jones | C
Contracts: Four years, $17.5 million (2016)/Two years, $13.5 million (2019)
Jones was one of the first signings Robinson made after taking over as general manager, and it has certainly paid dividends.
Jones has given the Titans stellar play up the middle and has provided stability after having started in all but one game during his four-year tenure.
Prior to the 2019 campaign, Robinson decided to avoid letting Jones hit free agency in 2020 by locking him up to a two-year extension. Jones proved the Titans’ GM made the right move once again after posting his best season as a pro despite the offensive line struggling around him early on.
According to PFF, Jones’ 2019 overall grade of 77.2, which was the best of his career, was third among qualifying centers and he was one of just four players at his position who logged a minimum of 250 pass-blocking snaps and allowed a pressure rate under two percent.
