Here’s the business end of it.
Chiefs re-sign Jones to 5/106 with a 20m signing bonus...and no football is played due to this virus. That’s a real possibility. The first part of any contract is fully guaranteed...then the cap hits gradually go up. We will have lost that advantage.
At the same time, if the salary cap stays flat from this thing...Mahomes comes first. Period.
Can’t sign Chris and chance making negotiations with Mahomes difficult.
Bad timing for Chris. If I’m him, I sign that tender and go to work before they possibly cancel the season and KC pulls the tag.
