However we need to make sure this does not become a thing. After all the Carl Peterson and Dorsey botched negotiations and horribly timed "prove it" year miscalculations I guess I'm a little nervous. This would be Veach's first big contract so we'll see how it goes... |

Negotiating those big contracts take time and sometimes you will fail to reach an agreement. You can't just ask the player how much he wants and then sign the cheque. That would be bad business. And Chris Jones has already broken out. The guy is not gonna reach the level of play of Aaron Donald ever. Most likely, his sack total would go down next year and regardless, his value on the market would barely be higher, taking into account the fact that the cap and salaries go up every year. Even he he has a great year next year, he wouldn't get a much bigger contract on the market. I'm all for signing him now if it makes sense but it has to be for reasonable numbers. The more you give to him the more eventually you will be unable to retain good players you wish you could keep. Kendall Fuller is a guy I'd look to sign now before he potentially has a great year next year and then costs a ton. |

I rewatched the Broncos game from week 4 last night.
The defense was so unbelievably bad. Yeah, Houston and Ford abuses the tackles. But the ridiculous ease with which Denver ran the ball was appalling. All I could do was remind myself how many of those turds were replaced. Jones isn’t worth that much money, period. He will play this year, and then The Chiefs should move on. |

To this day, Kendall Fuller has shown absolutely nothing to deserve a top 10 contract at his position, and Chris Jones has. |

The disrespect for Jones has gotten absolutely ridiculous.

That's quite a bit different. I'd have absolutely no issue giving him the deal Grady Jarrett just got. But if you want Aaron Donald or Fletcher Cox money, you've gotta be a complete player. |

Plus the positional stuff. We've got a highly paid DE, we've drafted quite a few interior DL lately as well.
We don't have much at corner, developmentally or what after this year. Locking Fuller into a nice deal for him now, may end up looking great if he has a big year with improved safety play behind him. |

I think Jones is a better pure pass rusher than Cox for sure, but Cox is just a physical animal in there and Jones hasnt' quite shown that yet. I'm not really sure Jones will ever be "great" against the run just because of his height. It's damn hard to anchor at that height |

Also, Jones was 24 last year. Let’s stop acting like he can’t get better. He won’t ever be a great run defender, but there’s still room for improvement. |

They clearly want to pay him. Just get it over with because the problem we can’t afford to pay double-digit contracts to guys like Kendall Fuller who don’t truly deserve it. |
