There will be good d-linemen available after roster cuts. I’m sure BV and Company have a board of potentially available players. Also, I heard on the radio this morning that Mahomes, Reid and Kelce all have cost prohibitive bonuses that go into effect if there is a contract restructure.

Well he isn't going to be doing a very good job of getting his if those fines keep piling up and then he sits out half the season.

It might be best if both parties move on. Seems like it is getting personal and we all saw how things went w HB his last season here.

Hopefully I'm wrong

LMAO Holy shit, no wonder PFF makes that inaccessible. It's ****ing worthless.

2018: 74 pressures, 16 sacks, 14 hits, and 44 hurries.
2022: 77 pressures, 15 sacks, 12 hits, and 50 hurries.

2018: 90.4 overall rating, 72.1 run defense rating, 91.2 pass rush rating
2022: 92 overall rating, 78 run defense rating, 92.2 pass rush rating

Despite being nearly identical in all facets available on their website, somehow his WAR is .22 higher in 2022. Just an absolutely worthless metric.

Sure. Easy deal, no problem

No idea but I'd guess it has something to do with how well all the other players did that year thus in 2018 Jones had higher WAR players around him than in 2022 so him having a higher WAR in 2022 means more wins because the lack of other players being able to step up if Jones didn't play.

LMAO Read what you just posted. Now think about it a bit. No. It's just a worthless metric.

Oh and he is also the reigning DPOY.

I don't know that's what I was asking.

It's also unclear if the fines for missing preseason games are waivable or not. We know the daily fines for missing camp are. But I've never heard anyone confirm that the fines for missing preseason games can't be waived.

I was listening to 810 this morning and they were saying that Jones holding out will drastically affect his FT number next year. If he waits until week 8, next year's FT would be around $23M, but if he plays the full season, his FT next year will be around $33M. I guess it's because him holding out changes his cap, and that is a factor in how the FT number is calculated.

So if he plays and gets tagged next year, and he plays next year he makes $53M over those two seasons. If he sits out until week 8, he only makes $36M. Sure makes sitting out look like a foolish strategy.

Yeah, if he holds out until week 8 I honestly wouldn't be shocked if we just tagged him and let him sit again in 2024. The new CBA pretty much cripples the viability of any long term holdouts.

When Terez Paylor said contract year is undefeated, part of the wisdom of the quote is that a motivated player is going to pull out all the stops to have a career year and earn the next deal.

The idea that a veteran player like Chris Jones is going to have another salary drive year to help the Chiefs so that he gets the deal he wants but the Chiefs are not giving so far seems overly hopeful.

Maybe Jones thinks he has already earned the deal he wants and another team will give it to him no matter if he chooses to be a malcontent play not to get hurt guy this year if he does not get a new deal.

I am impressed that neither side has played the leak the numbers game, so maybe there is hope.

That and $4 will get him a cup of coffee at Starbucks

Chris Jones is bluffing with the bricked nut flush draw (generally one of the worst hand to bluff river with) and the Chief are snap hero calling him with air.
