Perhaps the bliss of a Super Bowl cured some of the issues, but in my talks during the postseason, there was some clear dissension between Chiefs and Chris Jones’ camp. Without a long-term deal, I just don’t see this going well. Tag helps create time... but won’t create goodwill.

He’ll be traded anyways

**Rausch** · 03-16-2020, 07:45 AM

I hate this. I really like Jones and think he's great for the team.

I get it, it's a business, etc...I just hate to see it.

I see it as a win-win as long as they get appropriate compensation. This franchise will keep rolling either way.

Mahomes and Reid are just that much better than the competition.

Without Jones we don't win the sb though.

This is true. But with Jones at $20M+ AAV, we may not win another.

We aren’t just losing Jones though. We’ll get something in return.

Yes, he was huge in the Super Bowl. However, we don’t know what his compensation would’ve done in the Super Bowl. Maybe we get better at multiple positions? That might make us a better team overall.

The additional cap space plus draft picks could possibly be greater than what we get from Jones over the next 4-5 years.

The problem is the more you win the less you see guys that are career players. It means eventually Kelcee and basically everyone other than Pat will probably have to leave once the contract is no longer a good value.

It's not anyone being cheap or heartless it's just the economics of the NFL once you pay that franchise QB or start winning SB's...

Trade.

RunKC · 03-16-2020, 08:10 AM

Can you blame him? I’d be pissed too. No way in hell would I play on the tag this year if I was him

What does he have to be pissed about?

OrtonsPiercedTaint · 03-16-2020, 08:17 AM

He is one for one in SBs

This is our new normal. Great players are going to leave. I have to say...... I like the new normal better than the old normal.

Red Dawg · 03-16-2020, 08:26 AM

I would be mad as well. 15.5 is chump change. We all make more than that, right?

Mecca · 03-16-2020, 08:28 AM

I get why he wants to be paid but if some of these rumors are true that he wants Donald money, you can't keep him at that price.
