“Stars and Scraps” is the term Duncan used. They may go that route, but injuries/aging vets have been issues for other teams in comparable situations. But if Veach and Patrick keep doing their thing, we could potentially avoid the same issues other rosters ran into.

Jones seems pretty happy about the Mahomes extension

If Jones has any sense, he would want to stay here and win multiple championships.

I don’t fault him for wanting the money above all else right now. That’s how most of us are with our jobs. |

$30M signing bonus Base/Roster-Workout Bonuses 1: $4M (guaranteed) 2: $6M (guaranteed) 3: $12M (guaranteed) 4: $18M 5: $20M (10M roster) Throw in some incentives that would not be seen as "likely" so you can get around them (All-Pro? MVP? 15+ sacks?) and sweeten the pot a little bit. Maybe something like each year he gets 15+ sacks he gets $1.5 million (like Pat's MVP/AFC Title incentives). That gets your cap hit this year down to $10M (saving $6 million). Gets the Chiefs to about $14M in cap room. Option 1 (Boring): Roll that cap space over to next year to make up for the 2021 salary cap dip Option 2 (Aggressive): Add Jadaveon Clowney on a 1-year, $10-12M deal. Win Super Bowl. Clowney hits FA again at age 28 coming off a SB win and likely a huge year. Get comp pick when he signs the huge deal he wants. Profit. Which do you think Veach is eyeing? |

Clowney has offers on the table from Cleveland, LV and Tennessee, he's holding out because he doesn't want to play for shitty teams.

The Raiders paying Clowney after drafting Ferrell and Crosby then signing Nasib would be hilarious.

Again it just seems like this was a curveball from Veach. The whole “the Chiefs and Chris Jones aren’t talking” from the media is pretty stupid. No shit they aren’t talking, bc Veach was working on the Mahomes contract.
The “Chiefs never viewed Jones as a $20 million asset” seems odd to me. Not sure why that was reported. Actions definitely speak louder than words here and Mahomes electing to free money up for the Chiefs the next 4 years says everything about Veach’s plan. |

With KC, Clowney would be able to: 1) Play DE, which maximizes his ability 2) Play on an already stacked DL, with two other pass-rushing terrors to draw attention away from him (seriously, he would face single blockers a LOT) 3) Play for a DC who is creative and will move him around to create easier pass rush opportunities where needed 4) Play for a team that is going to put up a lot of points on offense, forcing opponents to throw the ball a lot, creating pass rush opportunities I don't know that the huge, multi-year deal Clowney wants is out there for him. If it was, I think it would have materialized by now and he would have taken it. |
