I don't follow him.

But I think it would be pretty easy to just switch and say,

Well, time will tell if KC overpaid.

If Jones also earns the full value of his contract during the long regular season, that would be great. I'm not really expecting that.

Which isn't me saying Jones isn't going to be good. But he's going to be paid a little under 2 million a game? Now obviously every player has better or worse games and not everything they do shows up in a stat sheet etc. But I will be pleasantly surprised to see ~2 M of performance game in game out...

I see it as good regular season but then as keeping him especially for the post season and maybe key moments in the regular season. And perhaps other things like leadership or whatever you want to call it.

I can see why people are excited. I hope it pays off.

But time will tell...

If Chris can stay healthy like Fletcher Cox it will be worth it.
