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. He and Kansas City have until 4 p.m. ET Wednesday to finalize a long-term contract. |

Yeah, that's kind of how I always thought of it as well. But according to an article I read a few weeks ago, apparently the 'new math' is something like at least 3 titles in a decade, along with the associated 'dominance' (appearing in the playoffs every season/appearing in the Conference championship game/series at least 50% of the time).

The Chiefs are now at 4-1 odds to win the 2020 SB. They used to be at 5-1. Thats the lowest odds so far in the Patrick Mahomes era of the KC Chiefs.

I still think the development of Saunders could yield a future w/ Jones taking a fair number of snaps at DE.
You wanna fix that run defense? Run a front 4 w/ Jones - Saunders - Nnadi - Clark. That's 1200 lbs of human being on the DL and it only gets bigger if you put Pennell in there and we KNOW he can play. So even if Saunders doesn't develop into a strong asset, you still have the ability to play Jones on the edge in early downs. There's no replacement for displacement and that DL displaces a LOT. Jones has the first step, length, athleticism and agility to play DE. You play him on the strong side and he doesn't just set the edge, he collapses it. And he has the mass to play the SDE incredibly well even in an Under front. He could be the sort of force multiplier in an under-front that JJ Watt was when he was able to play DE in a 3-4 and still occupy/defeat 2 guys. In Watts prime the Texans were playing 3 guys on the line and getting the movement/coverage of 4. They were effectively playing 12 vs 11. I'd love to see him spend more time on the edge. He could do some serious damage.

Eh, if they win a title, Sutton is encouraged strongly to 'retire' behind the scenes.
There were too many steps towards a 4-3 conversion in 2018 to believe they didn't have something along those lines in mind. I know we like trying to find a silver lining there but it takes more squinting than I can realistically manage. That offsides (or any of those !@#$ing 3rd and long conversions) will haunt me for awhile.

It's kind of surreal to think about that Ford was very much inches away from bringing his team a title two years in a row. Was Mahomes dunking on Dee for the go-ahead touchdown in the Super Bowl poetic or what?

If Veach can somehow get Tyreek, Mathieu and Ward locked up within the next two years I will literally suck his dick with no hands and will cradle his balls with my tongue.
