except Jones has no trade value and we would be on the hook for $33 mil in cap this year.

He was but we all know he was picked on by the refs all year. There are several of those holding calls that were BS. You know they are bad when commentators are saying that they were BS.

His trade value is definitely lesser. I do have a question though.
What do you think the APY for the 2cd best DT in the league who is a 3-time SB winner that is a 5-time All-Pro and a 5-time Pro Bowl player should be?

Sign Leki Fotu for $7 million a year and Kinlaw for $8 million a year

Both are just 25 still. They have great size and can push a pocket.

Then if we trade Sneed for a second round pick take Ruke Orahoroho

DT- Kinlaw, Ruke
NT- Fotu, Buggs, Farrell

Stop with the bad takes

Those 2 guys aren't worth half those figures.

I love Chris Jones, and hope the hell he realizes a legacy at one team has value long after you retire. That being said:

Some team with lots of cap space will pay $31-$33 per for 3/4. They just wouldn't give up a 1 or 2 to have that right, and anything worse is close to the comp offset possibility. That's why Sneed makes more sense in this stacked draft as we may get a 2 coupled with a 5/6. There's a 70% chance Jones plays injury free for the next 3/4 years and plays at a continued high level. It's the 30% that scares the hell out of smart teams, because that can wreck a team. See Von Miller. If Von stayed healthy, he was on fire that first year in Buffalo, they may win it. The Chiefs aren't going to make mistakes on 3rd contracts with older guys. Chris is the exception where they may pat $28/29, but they aren't paying $33.

He has made $94 million. He will probably get offered another $90 million guaranteed at least by the chiefs. How much would it be worth to not play for the chiefs? 10 million? This is exactly a hill situation. He will be in a worse situation for the money.

Chris is going to get offered a little more to go elsewhere. He’s going to be back in KC once he doesn’t get what he thinks he will.

It’s not even rolling with two draft picks that’s the problem.

His entire plan was to go into a draft with the 32nd pick and no tackles, forcing the team to panic and choose a guy who might not be the best tackle fit.

The absolute worst thing you could do is go into the draft with such a huge glaring need. That’s what dumb teams do.

I disagree with all the taylor hate, he was being made an example of early in the season, but outside of the penalties he was very good and was fantastic in the playoffs and super bowl.

Furthermore, Taylor's contract isn't keeping us from resigning Jones...this is magical thinking.

Jones might get $32+ annual average value offer in FA but I still think the guarantees will be like a normal contract and I think Veach could feel comfortable enough giving Jones that $26-$28M contract with higher guarantees to make it happen.

You going to be ok, bro?

Agreed. Especially after the ravens dt signed for less.
