Report: Bears have inquired about Kansas City Chiefs DT Chris Jones

[Mosbonian]

Believe me...I would rather see Jones in a Chiefs uniform this year but the longer this goes, the less it seems likely.

What if he holds out and then comes back in week 8 and plays lights out.....win for the Chiefs and win for Jones in his negotiations for a big payday next year.

What if he holds out and plays average or below average.....sucks for the Chiefs and sucks for him because his market value exponentially decreases.

I think the Aaron Donald contract is making everyone a bit skittish in paying a IL near age 30 a long term contract that eats up too much Cap space for what could be/might be a great player.

From my perspective...and as much as we all hate it, we may need to trade this year....and pick up some draft picks in the deal that can pay off for a younger and lower paid talent hungry player wanting to make a name.

Yeah our defense will suffer without Jones to wreak havoc...but you are going to have to learn to adjust somehow.
