There is a real chance the season - if there is one - is reeruned by the virus...the cap certainly will be. I think these guys w/o contracts are in a strange position.

Sucks, but hopefully we can time a trade with a splash signing like Clowney.

I’d think having a good chance to play in a super bowl or four would be worth a slight discount. Don’t get me wrong he’s worth the money, but damn if your going to work your ass off I’d want to have as good of a chance as I could to go to the big dance

I talked to Chris Jones Sr. for a bit* at the AFCCG tailgate, and my distinct impression was Jones was uninterested in a hometown discount.

*he asked whether I was a reporter, lol

The Kansas City Chiefs circa 2010-2016 would have to bend over backwards for a guy like Chris Jones.

However, this is a different time in the life of a Chiefs' fan. We have (arguably) the best head coach in the league, the best QB on planet Earth, and one of the best defensive coaching staffs in football. We have the two leaders and anchors of the defense already in Mathieu and Clark. We have a GM who has proven time and again he can find impact players.

I want to keep Chris Jones, but the fact is that we probably can't, and it's not going to cost us any Super Bowls if we don't. As was mentioned earlier in the thread, we mounted the most epic playoff comeback in NFL history without him on the field. It's a different world for us now. We have the new Michael Jordan playing QB for us.

We'll be fine.

If Mahomes goes down, it doesn't matter if the Chiefs keep Chris Jones because they aren't winning jack shit.

Jones has made about 5 mil in his career but is gonna sit out of 16 mil gtd?

I’m skeptical

If he is dumb enough to take advice from Leveon Bell who lost money doing this shit....

Go get your bag Chris. Hopefully it's with the Chiefs but the man's play has earned a pay day

PunkinDrublic · 07-01-2020, 08:06 AM

The other factor is we have plenty of young defensive players who will be coming into their second year playing in our coordinators scheme. Hopefully a lot of things will start clicking for them and some real studs develop. I’m not saying that’s enough to nullify losing Chris Jones but with our offense all we have to be is good enough on the other side.

tredadda · 07-01-2020, 08:10 AM

Jones has every right to hold out. He has earned what he is asking for. If the Chiefs are unwilling or unable to pay him that then they should trade him to someone who will. I know the franchise tag is good money for one year, but that’s it. After that same thing all over again. He wants to get paid what he feels he’s worth along with having long term financial stability. I imagine everyone else here would want the same thing if they were in his situation. One bad injury while playing on the tag and he will be dropped like an UDFA. That’s why players hate the tag so much. He also was franchised last year and still performed at a high level and was a professional about it.

I got it that Mahomes is and should be the priority. If the team doesn’t feel like they can afford him and Jones then let Jones go to a team that can afford him.

redfan · 07-01-2020, 08:40 AM

Jones will get paid, just not by KC. Thanks for the memories...dude is a baller.
Is it wise to hold out in a season that isn't?

FloridaMan88 · 07-01-2020, 08:42 AM

I never thought the Chiefs could realistically pay Chris Jones what he wants (and probably deserves).

Is trading him for decent value still an option?
