Probably so.

It may have poisoned the well here where they just OBJ it and let him walk.

Sassy Squatch 11-20-2023 08:32 AM

Nah. They'll tag him and hold him until some team gives us compensation. Looking at all the fringe tier players that got dealt for day 2 picks this go around he might even fetch a 1st+ with how dumb and desperate GMs have become

Who's gonna be willing to give him the contract he's wanting, along with a pick?

Plus the tag would cost the Chiefs 33/34 million off the cap. They're not doing that during FA.

Sassy Squatch 11-20-2023 08:38 AM

Sure they are. They have plenty of money for the first wave even with a tag of Jones.

O.city 11-20-2023 08:40 AM

Again, you've gotta be pretty certain to have a trade done before you do it, otherwise you end up ****ed with him on the tag.

I don't think anyone is gonna trade a 1 plus give him 3 years 90 million.

Similar to the whole OBJ thing, they may not wanna deal with his agent again.

Taylor - $24,725,000

Just those 3 player is accounting for just over $109 million toward the cap.

Thuney makes too much.

Fowler saying here they can't afford to tag him.

Sassy Squatch 11-20-2023 08:45 AM

Lawl. Just watched the Bears give a second and 24.5 million AAV to Montez Sweat, a fringe 2nd tier EDGE. Unless Jones falls completely off the wagon, some GM desperate to make a splash will do business.

Yeah we need to get that Salary off the books. We can't pay a gaurd 22 mil per year with the other huge contracts we're dealing with. I'm all aboput protecting Mahomes, but that seems like a huge misallocation of funds there.

LMAO Watched all the talking heads project cap doom for the Chiefs circa the 2020 offseason when we only had 700k and Mahomes and Jones to sign

Well, age is a pretty big factor there.

This is Jones 3rd contract.

He's making this much right now because he restructured his contract to allow us cap room 2 years ago. Pushed a bunch of money off. We are paying for that postponed guaranteed money now.

That was back in September when his agents told him that. Not the case at all. $50+ million in the bank before cutting MVS.

And they let Orlando walk bc they knew he didn't have value. That showed itself in FA.

Mr. Kotter 11-20-2023 09:39 AM

He's certainly earned it. Probably even more valuable than CJ moving forward anyway. I'd love to keep 'em both though. ;)

So if Jones has 30 million a year and a draft pick of value.....shouldn't we just keep said player?
