I just don't understand why we have not offered him yet. A big DE right in our backyard you'd think we'd have pulled the trigger a long time ago but I'm sure an offer will come eventually.

Competition level concerns for Jones? 
Waiting to offer at camp maybe?

A big DE
That's the main issue with Jones, he's not a big DE. He recently measured up at 6'4.5 237, which is way too small to be a 3-4 DE. Then in pass rushing drills simply put he looked awful, got physically dominated and didnt show great quickness, so he didnt look like a 3-4 rush OLB either, which is the kind of size he currently has.
I think Jones is a 4-3 DE and unless things change above, isn't a good fit for our defense. Where do you put him?
They have their 3-4 DE targets really in Buggs, Mathis and Wilson (can play NT or 3-4 DE in our defense). Which considering Jones' lack of a pass rush ability, they probably see that as his place in our 3-4, but he needs to bulk up and put on a lot of strength.
They have told him repeatedly they want to see him at camp where they can setup scenarios for him to see how he fits.
