Look - the market was set. Buckner set it. The Chiefs were gonna have to give him a bit more than Buckner got to get a deal done.
Either they would or they wouldn't but there wasn't gonna be a lot of confusion involved here. Everyone knew what it would cost and it was just a question of priority. If the Chiefs moved on, I'd have been confident that they had a plan that would've worked out fine as well.
Sign him, don't sign him - the Chiefs were gonna be okay. But when it gets down to it, sports are entertainment and I like rooting for dudes I like. And I like Chris Jones.
So I'm hopeful he stays healthy, plays up to his deal and I can CONTINUE to like Chris Jones. It's fun to root for a player rather than bemoan his cap figure when he underperforms.
