If the first franchise tag is $32.5 million why would $27 million be considered a good offer?
Maybe if it was 3 new years with the third year 2026 vesting in summer 2025.
If franchise tag is 120% of 2023 cap hit. Chiefs have to own the cap hit number number they agreed to.
Chiefs are saying they do not want to extend him unless he bails them out from the 2024 franchise tag number.
Chiefs should just offer Jones to play out current contract and give him a small signing bonus on a voidable 2024 to get some 2023 cap relief and promise not to franchise tag him in 2024.
Let him walk for a comp pick or consider making an offer in 2024 when he can negotiate with all the other teams.
