Didn’t OBJ end up getting a deal that secured him more guaranteed money than the Chiefs were offering? At least, that’s my recollection

So far this whole thing reads to me the same as it did last year. Chris Jones says he wants to stay and gives a big speech at the parade, and Chiefs say they are optimistic, but then nothing gets done. And then Chris Jones trolls on Twitter, which I believe he does because he thinks it puts fan pressure on Veach to meet his demands, and then that has no effect. Rinse, repeat. Right now I do not believe anything will get done. There's no franchise tag or final contract year leverage for the Chiefs, and I doubt that Chris Jones has changed his attitude about what he wants that much since last offseason. Not mad at him about it, he was crucial to all 3 Super Bowl wins so I'll love him forever.

Please no, and I'm a Hawkeye fan.

Time to start treating him like Tyreek, you want the bag, go get your bag, we’ll make it work. Yes our defense will take a step back but we believe in the team, the coaching, the offense, the defense, the CHIEFS. You’re all money, all words, Deuces my man.

tend to agree that if a deal isn't done by Monday, he gone

Tampering happens, they already know what he can get from other teams so why wait unless you plan to leave?

That's where if it's not done by Monday morning the Chiefs need to move on and make sure they sign the other guys they want.

Christian Wilkins is another option at DT

let's say CJ is gone hypothetically....

how do you wanna pivot in FA?

Veach isn't going down without signing guys he thinks are entering their prime

Who are the 25-27 year olds who they think can thrive here?

According to Spotrac, here are the top ten FA DTs based on 2023 AAV:

Chris Jones
DJ Reader
Grover Stewart
Fletcher Cox
Sheldon Rankins
Austin Johnson
DaQuan Jones
Justin Jones
Bryan Mone
Tim Settle

Dorance Armstrong / DE 27 years old
Darnell Mooney / WR 26 years old
Kristian Fulton / CB 26 years old
Yosh Nijman / OT 28 years old
Noah Fant / TE 26 years old
D'Andre Swift / RB 25 years old
Teair Tart / DT 27 years old

This FA class is not good where the Chiefs needs are...

if Chris goes I think I'd strongly consider giving LJ the Jaylon Johnson deal

Watch for Josh Jones and Andrus Peat. Jones is a very athletic LT that is only 27.

Chiefs were flirting with Peat a couple years ago and he’s played well at LT recently. Just turned 30.

So...for all the supposition going on...

What if we DO pay CJ his money and he ends up like Aaron Donald and his skills start to decline starting next year?

We would be paying big bank for a lesser version?

This. It makes no sense to not have at least one of them here long term. Even if a team was offering a first, if we lose CJ, we have to keep Sneed long term.

Other than 2022 when Aaron was injured he's been great since that deal. Him and Jones were 1 and 2 in pass rush wins last year. And he was high up there in 2022 before the injury issues.

I don't see Jones declining significantly in the next 3 years which will be where the majority of his contract guarantees will be

What’s interesting about Sneed is how the Chiefs have handled him. Never once said they want him back. Even before the tag was applied all the news was that they are facilitating a trade for him. Letting him talk to other teams.

Sounds like they don’t want to keep Sneed either way
