Position - DE or LB
Clearly there's an ongoing dispute about what to list Chandler Jones' position as.

makes the argument that we should go with the position that NFL.com lists for Chandler Jones, which is OLB.

cites this official signing post from March 17 by the Raiders as a reason to list Jones as a linebacker.

Instead, I make the argument that NFL.com is often out of date regarding a player's position and they are NOT the supreme authority on a player's position. The team itself can and does dictate what position a player is going to play. In this instance, the Raiders list Chandler Jones as a defensive end, NOT a linebacker. The initial signing report calls him out as a linebacker because that's what his position was with the Cardinals, not the position they intended to play him at. When a team that actively updates their roster on their website lists a newly signed free agent as a different position than NFL.com, we listen to what the team has stated regarding a player's position.

Examples of NFL.com being out of date and not reflecting positional changes;
 * Jordan Matthews is now a tight end according to the 49ers' roster, not a wide receiver as listed by NFL.com
 * Matt Cole is now a cornerback according to the Seahawks' roster, not a wide receiver as listed by NFL.com

Raiders current roster which lists him as a defensive end

March 17, Raiders post a video titled "Watch: Chandler Jones arrives in Vegas, signs his contract and tours HQ", with a description of "Watch as defensive end Chandler Jones arrives at Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center to tour the facility and gives a special message to Raider Nation."

March 17, Raiders post a video titled "Chandler Jones: 'I'm excited for them to see me in Silver and Black sacking quarterbacks'", with a description of "Defensive end Chandler Jones discusses his reasons for joining the Silver and Black, his relationship with Maxx Crosby, his leadership style and more."

March 18, Raiders post a video titled "Highlights: Pro Bowl DE Chandler Jones"

In summation, NFL.com does not always reflect the actual position of a player. In situations where there are different positions listed, we should be deferring to what the team is listing a player as. In this case, the Raiders are referring to Jones as a defensive end. I ask that someone other than me make this change, as I do not wish to violate the 3 revert-rule and be considered as edit warring. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:02, 28 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Pinging again regarding this since they keep making changes that others add relevant sources for. Please participate in the discussion, as discussion is a key part of coming to a consensus instead of just edit warring. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:10, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * it's very bad form to not participate in talk page discussions revolving content that you're disputing while still participate in edit wars. I see you've implemented this change finally. Please make an attempt to contribute more collectively moving forward. Hey man im josh (talk) 02:19, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
