49ers
49ers’ DT D.J. Jones knows that he is in line for a big contract and feels like he has hit his prime this season. Jones says he wants to remain with the 49ers for the remainder of his career but is also considering the ways in which the money could help take care of his family.
โThe way Iโm playing, yes sir,โ Jones said, via Eric Branch of The San Francisco Chronicle. โIโd be lying to you if I didnโt say that โฆ I want to retire my father and mother from the barbecue business. I want to make sure my sisters donโt have to do another thing, as long they invest the money that I provide correctly. I completely understand the situation Iโm in. Iโm not going to say thatโs why Iโm balling. Iโm doing my job for my team. Those are rewards. I feel like Iโve morphed into a vet, slowly but surely. And I feel like Iโm in my prime. Iโm playing my best football. I would love to stay here. I would love to be a 49er for the rest of my career. Itโs as simple as that. But weโll cross that bridge when it comes time.โ
