While the deadline is approaching, the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a four-year contract extension with defensive tackle Chris Jones, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen. Schefter noted the deal is worth $85 million with $60 million guaranteed. The Chiefs placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jones in March, guaranteeing him $16.1 million for the upcoming season.

I hate that this offseason is so limited because I think it will make it a real challenge to get great impact from Willie Gay. He should be our best ILB day one, but I’m not sure where the learning curve sits at this point. |

Their '20 years of dominance' wasn't really 20 years. It was 5 years followed by 10 years of very good then another 5 years of dominance. Brady won all 6 of his rings in two 5-year chunks at the front and back of his Patriots tenure. Well that may well happen here. As I've said before, Mahomes will be at the head of 3 or 4 different iterations of the KC Chiefs. Some of those iterations will be championship caliber - others will be teams with a puncher's chance because of they have Mahomes. And I'm okay with that. Just know that the cupboard won't ALWAYS be this full. Kelce's and Hill's aren't in every draft and we won't always have the prescience to get them when they are...

Because if he's got $60 million in guarantees and took no signing bonus, you have to figure those are going to be in the form of guaranteed salaries. If he didn't make much more in 20 than he'd have made under the tag, that's $17 million or so and you have $43 million to cover in years 2 and 3 (presuming year 4 to be the remaining $25 million in non-guaranteed money). So $17, $21, $22 and $25? That's a well compensated defensive line, now. Gonna be tough to retain Fisher, Mathieu and Ward - gotta figure at least 2 of those guys will eventually be let go. They'll get something done with Kelce and Schwartz I'm sure.

The benefit would not come until next season when he's a -0- on the balance sheet. Whereas if you cut him next season after keeping him this season, you'd have a dead cap figure for Hitchens in 2021 of $8.45 million. That's why I say you 'rip the band-aid off'. You're making a painful decision this season to make it much smoother next. The majority of his pay comes in the way of base salary and none of his base salary is guaranteed. If he's not playing to that base, you're better served to move on sooner rather than later. But if they don't have anyone that can give you a C level performance at his position, you just can't do it. You're hamstrung. I'd imagine you could get Nigel Bradham on a vet min deal. Looks like Ogletree and Woodyard are still out there as well. Could you put the dot on Wilson and then rotate a couple guys like that around him based on situation w/ Gay getting increased reps as the season went along? Risky - but that's the kind of thing the Chiefs will have to start doing in the next couple of years and they can get just a little ahead of things by doing it with Hitchens. But like I said - they won't. Nate Taylor is of the mind that the Chiefs brass loves the guy and think he's indispensable on the mental side for the defense. I guess I'm not in the position to argue to the contrary.

1.) There's no way Dorsey would have been able to get all of this done. Good riddance.
2.) We'd better see the Chiefs actually play games this season.
