Yup.

Smart move by the Chiefs w/ Jones.

This year has demonstrated why you don’t sign an almost 30 year old DT to a MONSTER contract.

Get the best left in the tank this season (and hopefully in the playoffs, mostly) and then move on and let someone else pay him ridiculous $$$$$.

I think we'll miss him, but yeah. At this point I'd much rather use our resources on giving Mahomes some actual weapons. If we can get something out of a tag and trade and use it on a great WR to pair with Rice, I'll take the possible dip in our pass rush.

Good for Tyreek but it was wise to not pay that much when you're paying Mahomes.

Nobody should view an INT as a bad stat if there is :03 seconds left in the half and a QB launches a prayer... or if it's 3rd and 25 from the opposing teams 40 and you launch a ball downfield like a punt.
How many INT's does Mahomes have to carry because his WR's love to tip well throw balls?

A sack on first down for a loss of 3 yards doesn't mean much when the opposing team just gets a first down the next play.

I'm no Chris Jones fan after what he pulled this off season, but I don't think you can judge a player just strictly on paper stat.
I'd much rather look at QB pressures.

Possibly Sneed too!

If so, we gotta land big in the draft!

Is that different than last year? Last year he was the best DT in football. Now he’s holding up against double teams.
