Do you think the Chiefs wont make the playoffs if Jones doesn't play 7 games or something? I don't understand

He's under contract for this season. All that's relevant to me is the AAV of the new money. Trying to build this years salary into the 'model' without also accounting for the $8 million in pro-rated signing bonus he got as part of that deal is also disingenuous as hell. But that's what agents and car salesmen will do in these situations. They'll hide the ball and hope you're stupid. Don't be stupid, Brett.

Chiefs have more leverage. If that contract leaked is legit, I think the Chiefs should hold firm (54 over 2 is the type of deal Jones said he would accept before negotiations started). |

The good news is we wont have to worry about that because the longest he can (will) sit out is 7 or 8 games. We have Jones for the playoffs regardless. And a fresher one at that should he sit out. And more cap space for next year.

Why would a HOF talent that has been healthy and just came off his best season just fall off a cliff in 3 years. He's gonna be top 5 for 5+ years and probably the best for the next 3 years.

You can't build up the illusion of the team is Family, when you make it clear that you do not mind humiliating a HOF level player that played 80% of defensive snaps in a Super Bowl winning year. Maybe Andy Reid can still win Super Bowls without tricking the players into believing in that Family stuff, but he has needed that Family stuff so far. If the Chiefs go a few Mahomes years before winning another Super Bowl, the dopes around here will blame Chris Jones for asking for more money and getting owned in the negotiation?

If he doesn't have a contract he HAS to play harder than he ever has had to before. Imagine if he went out...looked slow and got no sacks. His value would plummet when he hit the open market.

Best case scenario: we get like $10M cap relief this year. Sign Dunlap and a DT with the extra money. CJ reports week 9, wakes up to the fact he’s playing for a new contract elsewhere, and balls out.
Worse case scenario: Veachy caves like a bitch. |
