If we trade Jamal we will need to use a relatively high draft pick for his replacement.  

Trading Jamal is in large part a money move and paying a SS a big second contract issue.  

But if the Jets used their second round pick for another safety and drafted OT and WR in the first round, I saved $15mm/Yr, I think it would be worth it. 

If they did that this board would lose it!   I don't think we're allowed to draft a safety before the 4th anymore.

A SS?  Absolutely not.  No team should ever use a higher pick than than for a SS.  There are always cheap options available on the street that can fill that need adequately.

If you're getting a FS/CB hybrid type in the Mathieu or Minkah Fitzpatrick mold, the mid-late 1st round or later is an acceptable pick slot to grab one of those.

Pretty even in the poll. I can definitely see both sides though I lean to trading Jamal as I think it would make us better overall most likely. Not without risk but worth doing if the right offer is there.

If the Jets don't extend him, expect a "negotiation" as bad as any we had with Mevi$. He will hold out trash the Jets daily on twitter and in the end we may trade him after all anyway,

He’s not a top 20 safety in any meaningful metric 

Other than being 1st team all-pro, I agree. 

Good point. ?

If this same poll were to be proposed on a Steelers board regarding T.J. Watt, it wouldn't be "yes to the trade" getting 55 % of the vote, I'll tell you that much.  It would be something like 90 % against it.

Given your answer above, you might want to Google All Pro and Pro Bowl.

You are right.

not pro bowl, all pro

It's the press, but let's not pretend that all-pro is meaningless, because it isn't.
