Aaron Donald, a HOF talent, that has been healthy almost his entire career had just come off one of his best seasons (when Rams won Super Bowl). He was 30. The next year (last season) he fell off a cliff and struggled with injuries, something that hadn’t been an issue before. And this, after the Rams had handed him a ridiculous contract to get him to stay.
Chris Jones is 29. He has one year left on his current contract. He will be 30 when he starts his next big contract. The Chiefs have supposedly offered him a 2 year extension onto the end of his current deal. If the Chiefs were to give him a new ‘long-term’ deal like he supposedly wants (4-5 years) for big money, there’s no way the Chiefs wouldn’t end up regretting that contract in a couple years. No way in the world he will play like a Top 5 DT for another 5 years. To think otherwise, is foolish.
