The Khalil Mack trade happened just days before the start of the regular season. I could see the same kind of situation occurring here.

A team with a ****ton of cap space like the Giants wants to quit being terrible, and they run a new 3-4/4-3 hybrid under Pat Graham. Jones would give them a sneaky great DL, and that might just be the worst division in the NFL. That's kind of what the Bears did a few years ago, and it at least got them back into the playoffs. If Daniel Jones isn't as bad as Trubisky (he's not) that could be an outstanding move for them.

Wow, some real dipshit takes here. He's the best player we have on defense - can take over games. He's a massive part of winning the Super Bowl, and people are all like "He needs to earn it" and "Be a team player." Give me a break. The dude's been the epitome of a team player and has done all the right things. Pay. Him.

Also, why is there a deadline for getting an extension done with a tagged player? That's idiotic. Dudes who are on the last year of their contracts during the regular season sign extensions all the time. Why can't guys playing on the one-year franchise tag sign extensions?

Maybe the Chiefs coaches don't value him as much as you. I kinda think he gets signed after Pat unless he lays down to much pain.

All of this. Would love to keep him but don't see how it's possible.

With the salary cap potentially going down I don't see how we can pay Chris unfortunately

Chris Jones is a very disruptive force in the middle of the line.

Mahomes is a savage though, so even if CJ ends up on another team playing against us I'm not concerned

Chris, is it worth 16 million and a legit chance to return to the Super bowl to play on a one year contract? Your choice, if its not worth that to you then sit out and potentially be traded somewhere you dont want to go, or tell us where you want to go and we'll try to make a trade. There is no wrong answer here. its your choice

I don't hate on CJ for wanting to get every dollar possible, especially now that he already is a world champion and has the ring to prove it.

Now its time to get the money, it just probably wont happen in KC

all the best CJ, thanks for helping win the Super Bowl

He got a super bowl now he just wants his money. I'm cool with that get it however you got to get it.

**** him

It's threads like this that show how absolutely reeruned a good chunk of posters are here. ****ing reeruns.

I feel bad for the guy. He's a legitimate major star in the league, and he's been great on the team. He's just in a tough position because of the Mahomes contract.

This is a situation where everyone is right and there's just not an obvious solution.

Bell was franchised a second time and it was clear Pittsburgh planned on running him into ground and getting rid of him. IIRC, the long term contract they offered didn't have that much guaranteed. I would have sat out if I was Bell.

I think the league should get rid of the franchise tag. Teams have to use it to not be at a disadvantage, but it causes so much bad blood. Get rid of it and its still a level playing field.

RBs in particular get screwed by the tag.

If he wants to sit out the season and forfeit 16 million dollars that’s on him.

Oh well.

Life will go on w/o Chris Jones. The Texans playoff game proved that.
