Chris Jones threatens to Hold Out

Cup isn’t completely bare there but their draft picks have not been great the last 2 years. They got lucky that Crosby has been good.

Passing on Josh Allen for Clelin Ferrell was stupid enough, but passing on Jerry Jeudy for Henry Ruggs?

The chefs miss is Damon Annette. They could have drafted Gladney, McKinney or Igbinoghene and been better off.

Holy shit

It’s nowhere close enough to stop or even slow us down. None of those guys are game changers. Adding Clowney is too much investment (money AND draft picks) at one position when the rest of their D needs game changers at every level.

They absolutely would’ve been better off using that money on Byron Jones.

To suggest otherwise is foolish.

Again it just seems like this was a curveball from Veach. The whole “the Chiefs and Chris Jones aren’t talking” from the media is pretty stupid. No shit they aren’t talking, bc Veach was working on the Mahomes contract.

The “Chiefs never viewed Jones as a $20 million asset” seems odd to me. Not sure why that was reported.

Actions definitely speak louder than words here and Mahomes electing to free money up for the Chiefs the next 4 years says everything about Veach’s plan.

Yep. Sure does!

I'm a Clowney fan first off, but if you put him next to Chris Jones and opposite Frank Clark, well....yeah.

That would be a fun DL. You could kick him inside with Jones some and just wreck some things.

I don't get the Clowney infatuation at all.

It's not an infatuation. Just thinking about what they would do with the cap space that a Jones extension would free.

Maybe they just pick some up and roll it over.

Maybe they try to add a quality free agent. It's not just Clowney. He's the easiest/biggest name. But Everson Griffen is definitely in the $10 million/year price range and would be a nice addition on a short deal (rumors are he wants 2 years, though).

Logan Ryan would also provide some insurance at CB for Breeland's looming potential suspension.

Personally, I think Veach will be aggressive with that cap space. That seems to be his way.

Clowney sucks. There is enough depth on DL when you factor in Jones.

Find a young stud at SS or another linebacker instead.

any news on whats up with Suggs?

[Chiefspants]

If people want to know the impact Clowney could bring to our defense, they should look no further than the instant improvement Suggs brought to our line. As many have said, Clowney won’t bring us a 15 sack season, but he wouldn’t have to do that to make an instant impact on the defense.

The wild thing is that Clowney would be an improvement over Suggs at this point in their careers.

Suggs is a professional

Clowney is a guy who is mostly injured and has fed off a highlight tackle from college

Clowney missed three games last year. It was the most he's missed since 2015 (a year where he also missed 3 games).

If the Chiefs can land a one year "prove it" deal with Clowney, that would be a win for everyone.

Clowney sucks and he isn't going to sign a one-year deal here he wants money and a lot of it...

He had 3-sacks last year. Let some trash team like Raiders overpay for him.

Thank God you are not the GM of the Chiefs

If you were the GM of the Chiefs, we never would have drafted Patrick Mahomes. While you're at it, please point to where I advocated signing Clowney for more than a one year deal.

You're not being realistic. Clowney best interest is to sign a big contract w someone for a lot of years because he isn't that good. One-year deal here isn't in his best interest.

I'm just a fan. Not a GM and never could be that's for scours and guys who have played the game at college or professional level not me.

He kind of missed his whole final year in college, although he was in uniform and on the field.
