You’d spend just as much or more to replace him adequately (unless you’re using a top pick on LB).

I just think there’s way better cut options to create that room (which others have mentioned).

Veach said last week on Eisen’s show that it’s huge for them to have inside and outside pass rush presence with Jones and Clark. He’d clearly prefer that to two edge rushers (which most teams spend on).

I think he wants to keep him for sure unless an offer blows him away.

Bring back Wiz on a one year deal, cut LDT, draft a new center and either keep Wiz at LG and have Rankins play RG or flip them.

Agree on most of em, minus Colquitt. I was just explaining why people were saying Wilson.

It will be nice when Berry is finally off the books. What a terrible deal that was.

LDT and Fisher are way overpaid for what we got in return. I would like the CHiefs to address the Oline in the draft and get some fresh studs on the line.

Sportrac says with rollover we’ll have $13.99 million.
Cap rise avg of $10 million would make that $23.99 million

Cutting Watkins would give you $14 million and put you at $37.99 million. That’s before cutting anyone else.

Think we’ll be fine this year. It’s 2021 and 2022 that gets dicey

Colquitt just needs to retire. His leg is done.

Would be nice but two guys on the dl getting huge money is tough to pull off unless Jones helps and just wants to stay.

The franchise tag will take up all of our cap space.

Just franchising Jones means we need to make cuts just to sign draft picks.

Gotta get a long term deal done or tag trade quickly.

I’m fairly certain that 14m is including the rollover.

Jones & Sammy are both goners unless the new CBA gives a bailout on QB salaries (separate cap).

Eisen also said Jones will take a hometown discount to stay in KC.

A semi reliable person told me a few days ago that Mahomes will do the same and that the players know it and others might follow suit to stay in KC.

Hopefully, it’s true. He’s fed me a few bits of legit info in the past and 100% has connections.

If we can tag & trade him the way Seattle did with Frank, I think you do it 100% of the time (if we’re able to do that).

Mahomes taking 40m but having a Seahawks type Line in front of him or a Chiefs 2018 defense on the other side or both would be unwise.

I think he is smart enough to know this imo

"He is a Seahawk. He ain't going anywhere. We aren't losing him." - Pete Carroll on Frank Clark in December 2019

No matter what Veach/Jones say publicly during this deal, it's going to all depend on what kind of offers they get from other teams. All of the other noise is just PR nonsense.
