I wonder what players are thinking in these situations. I mean, Chris only has to look at the Tyreek Hill situation to see a glaring example of a player with buyer's remorse.

Yep, they know the market. Chiefs won't match it. So he's probably heading somewhere else. The question is whether Sneed is also going as well.

If they are able to sign Jones fir a reasonable number then I am all about that...but if the numbers are not there we wish him the best of luck except when he is facing the Chiefs.

If he.goes to the Raiders, Broncos or the Bengals then he is as.dead to me as Neil Smith was when he went.to the Broncos.

He’s got 3 rings and is damn close to being HOF. He could go somewhere, get paid and get stats. This isn’t a Hill situation.

Remember though that this will be Jones’ final big contract. He also has three rings compared to one for Hill. Not sure Jones would feel the same buyers remorse that Hill is feeling.

Tyreek already has a ring and got hundreds of millions and he's cemented his rep as the best WR in the league and hall of famer with the Dolphins. He wouldn't have had two near 2000 yard seasons here. Doubt there's much buyers remorse. Would he like 2 additional rings? Of course but I doubt he would give up what he's gotten in Miami for it.

Fans are WAY more invested in additional rings than players are especially non QB players. A runny doesn't move the needle on legacy as much as a 2000 MVP type (if MVP wasn't a defacto quarterback award) season.

I really don't even think the extra rings matter that much when I say it's gonna be hard for him to walk away

It's just simple quality of life, I find it very hard to believe Chris wants change before or after his parade speech

Unfair to compare him to Neil Smith. As I understand that scenario, Neil was offered good money by the Chiefs, but he was determined to get more, so he went free agent. Denver offered him much less and he tried to return to the Chiefs and get the original offer. At that point the Chiefs only offered him what Denver had offered because he had found out nobody would pay him what the Chiefs would have originally. Since the Chiefs wouldn't give him the original deal he signed with Denver for the same amount of money that KC would have paid.

The deal with Chris Jones has yet to play out, but it's hardly comparable to what happened with Neil Smith.

Jones cant say he turned down Aaron Donald money until he reaches next week and turns it down.

If that matters to him, he will have to reach free agency.

Right now, the Chiefs have just under $2 million cap space. They haven't even restructured and or cut anyone to make room for Jones. If we don't see any moves in the next few days, Jones is gone. There is simply too much money tied up in Jawaan False Start Taylor. Omenihu too carries a $10 million cap hit.

The Taylor deal was disastrous and showed a real lack of foresight/planning

KC offered $27.5M per season last year. Jones turned it down and then pulled a holdout. I assume they are offering him similar money right now, perhaps more than that. But there is good reason to believe he'll sign with someone else for an extra $5M per year.

That Taylor deal? The RT who showed up in the playoffs and kept Mahomes clean? That one?

****ing idiots.

Ravens sign their guy

So an average of $24.5 million. Nothing groundbreaking.
