Veach ain't doing that.

We either get to keep Jones or we get to keep a lot of really good players. Win-win.

We are not giving Jones the bag he wants. It's been a year, and we haven't caved. Veach is not going to lose 4 guys we need this year and next to keep Jones. It would be stupid to do so.

What 4 guys?

Carrington Harrison coming in hot on Dianna Russini saying she said the Chiefs were optimistic about the Chiefs last year the last chance to sign him happened. Also said she is obviously getting the Chris and Sneed 1st rd pick news from the Chiefs.

To me if Chris Jones is still a FA on Monday morning he’s gone

I can see him landing with the Texans if he left. Young, up and coming team with a ton of cap space that can easily afford what he is looking for. He could bring a veteran presence to that team. Obviously I want Jones to stay here, but if not then it is what it is. They will adjust accordingly.

The only way this ends bad for the Chiefs is if they screw around with Jones too long and miss other FAs, then don’t sign him.

There are fair arguments to sign or not sign Jones. I think the Chiefs will be okay either way.

This can end bad for Jones if he pulls an OBJ and is forced to take less in a worse situation, because the Chiefs move on and his market isn’t what he hopes (though I’d be shocked if that happened).

The one difference between him and Brown Jr is that OBJ is a RT who is determined to play LT and only being average at it. He overplayed his hand and Veach called his bluff. Jones is still playing at an elite/HOF level and has been pivotal in KCs last two SB wins. He’s gonna get $30 million a year, or a contract that makes it look like that. The big question now is who’s gonna pay it?

Yeah, for sure. I wouldn’t compare them as players by any stretch.

Just comparing how the money went bad for OBJ and it could (though very very unlikely) happen to Jones too.

I think a deal gets done today regardless. And if it doesn’t, the Chiefs will still be fine.

Didn’t OBJ end up getting a deal that secured him more guaranteed money than the Chiefs were offering? At least, that’s my recollection
