Jones: Does Revis Need To Be Highest Paid Cornerback?
BOSTON (CBS) – Thursday night means it's time for some Role Play on The Adam Jones Show's Game of Jones!
Here are the questions:
You are Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli. Who's fault is it that you're currently barely a playoff team in the Eastern Conference?
Jones as Chiarelli: "I think we have a team that is talented enough to make the postseason. We were up against the cap, had to get something for Johnny Boychuk without losing him, and it wasn't an ideal hockey trade that we acknowledged at the time. Since then, the team should be better off in the standings than they've shown. We have to deal with a few things against the cap, certainly this year after the Iginla trade a year ago. We have to weather the storm. I, Peter Chiarelli, do not have myself at the top of my own list. I would put it on the players. They need to pick up their level of play. Guys like Bergeron, Lucic, and Chara are not playing to their capabilities. If they were, I do not think we would be in this spot."
You are now Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino. Do you see yourself as the team's everyday leadoff hitter?
Jones as Victorino: "I do. I'm the everyday right fielder. I've been in the league for 10 years. I've been an All Star. I've been on multiple World Series-winning teams. I can set the table for a lineup. If you want me to leadoff, I can do it."
You are now Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis. Is it possible for you to not be the highest paid cornerback in the league next year?
Jones as Revis: "I'm going to be the highest paid guy. I don't need to blow it out of the water. I don't need $60 million guaranteed or anything like that. What I need is more than $48 million, lets call it $50 million. If the Patriots offer that number I'm back. If they don't, and someone else wants to blow that number out of the water, great. There is no way no how that I'm not the cornerback in the NFL with the most guaranteed money."
You are Celtics President Danny Ainge. Do you regret drafting Jared Sullinger, especially after knowing there was a lot of health red flags at the time?
Jones as Ainge: "No I do not regret drafting him."
You are now the Cleveland Browns. Are you excited about the new logo and font?
Jones as Browns: "Of course! How could you not be excited? You see that new orange pop?"
