If you believe the rumor that Chris Jones will be shopped via a tag/trade deal to NFC contenders then I see a few teams that could make sense. It's the off season and it's fun to speculate, so that's what I'm doing.
For reference, the Chiefs gave up about
240 points of draft capital for Frank Clark. Since Jones plays DT, I doubt there's a team out there willing to give up that much for him.
1. SEATTLE
- $50 million in cap space
- Top 2/3 team in the NFC
- Ranked 30th in sacks in 2019
- Tag/trade relationship between the organizations is already established
- Could trade their 2020 first round pick (27) at a valuation of 216 points. Could possibly get another future pick from them in this trade
2. DETROIT
- $45 million in cap space
- Tough year last year, but they have a QB and some offensive pieces
- Ranked 31st in sacks in 2019
- Matt Patricia is a defensive coach - he's going to look to upgrade that unit big time
- Could trade their 2020 second round pick (35) at a valuation of 170 points, then swap third rounders with KC and maybe get a future pick from them
3. PHILADELPHIA
- $40 million in cap space
- Contending playoff team
- Ranked 16th in sacks in 2019
- Fletcher Cox + Chris Jones would be a nightmare for QBs
- Organization staff very familiar with one another
- Could swap their first round pick (21) with KC's first rounder, give up their second (53) and a future pick
4. DALLAS
- $76 million in cap space
- Contending team with new staff
- Ranked 19th in sacks in 2019
- Might not have the cap flexibility their current space reflects though
- Could swap their first round pick (17) with KC's first rounder, give up their third (82) and a future pick
