I’ve been saying from the get go that I’m ok with a trade if they can’t get a deal done. Don’t try to make it seem like I’m contradicting myself because I made it very clear that it was you that was talking in absolutes, not me.

I don’t think anyone necessarily WANTS to see Chris Jones gone, but the reality is that’s whats gonna happen (and that has been reinforced even more with Reid’s and Jones comments today). We just need to hope for a large return at this point.
The writing is on the wall. |

You insulted anyone who dared disagree with you. Tell me more about which sports personalities to listen to.

I have acknowledged the possibility that a trade could happen. You were being willfully ignorant about what was being said by the Chiefs most reliable insiders. The result doesn’t change that, and I’m not convinced all of this necessarily means he’s already gone although it’s definitely more likely that not at this point.

This is a great opportunity for the Chiefs here. Veach has been pretty good in his dealings, so I expect we will get the right compensation on this move. This is a build for the future move, and if he us able to turn those picks into starters, we could be looking at full on Chiefs Dynasty here.
Its just so hard to stay at the top, sinking so much of your cap into just a few players. Even with qbs, no top tier salary qb ever made it to the superbowl, save for Eli Manning, who was i believe the fifth highest paid qb at the time. Mahomes obviously has the skills to be the exception to that rule, but with him commanding a large number, Clark getting his, its just not there to keep Jones at fair value for what he really deserves and still be able to fill out the roster for a championship level team. Hate to see the guy go, but he earned his money. In a sport where each snap could be your last, He's totally justified in taking care of his future now. |

“Chris is a part of this team, a big part of this team — he helped us get where we were,” said Reid, before pivoting. “It’s crazy because in this business, we’re all expendable. That’s been proven over and over again. On the other hand, you’d like to keep everybody. But that’s not real. So would we like to keep Chris? Sure. But things happen in this business, and we’re all players and coaches. We’re all used to that, and so if he’s here, great, man. That’s a great thing. If he’s not, we’re going to keep plowing, man, and keep moving on, and we expect somebody else to step up and fill in that position. We get all of that... You’ve been in this thing long enough, I think we understand that. I think the fans understand that.”

The Dolphins have a ton of cap space and picks coming out of their ears. I see them as a probable trade partner

As much as Mike Mayock loves Chris Jones I still believe that the Raiders will trade for him with whatever team we trade him to if that happens. It might not be in the same season but I still think it will likely happen

And you’re still an idiot for thinking this is possible.

Good Lord I was reading the last several comments and got pissed that we traded him, but then I see that people are saying he is gone based on some song lyrics and some comments that Andy made. You all read into things too much.

Yea there’s not enough for me to say he’s gone. It could just as easily be posturing from both sides.
