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.

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.
