This might not end well with Chris Jones

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

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.

Who are we going to miss out on? I mean really?

We are not going to be big shoppers in free agency.

Our own in house guys. If we can’t get Jones then I’d like to sign Ogbah or Fuller at around $12 million.

Fuller please! Ogbah only if he will be cheap. Remember Okafor is coming back as well

Not big money guys, but we very well could be in the market for a $10-12 million a year type player if we free up the cap space that would have been allocated for Jones. I'm fine with trading him, but we'll need to do something to address his loss in some way and draft picks alone won't cut it.

I would say a reasonable set of options would look like this:

1) Keep Jones at $21M AAV

OR

2) Keep Fuller at $10M per, Pennel at $6M per, and Wisniewski at $3M per with a 1st round pick and 3rd round pick added via trade.

Which do you choose in that scenario?

Yeah, my point is that we are not singing anyone early in the process. Veach will be looking for good deals. And I'm pretty sure we can make additional cap room if and when it becomes necessary.

I'd concentrate on Pennel and Wis and both are realistic.

As far as the draft I like the CB's and don't like the LB's. I think OL in rounds 3 and below is decent. WR is obviously deep.

I hope for and expect a trade down...

I preface this by saying that you won't find a bigger Chris Jones fan than this guy (two thumbs pointing at me).

His play in the 4th qtr of the SB, alone, shows you how valuable he is. I would love to keep him, but I take solace in the fact that we wouldn't be leaving the table empty-handed if there is a parting of the ways.

What did he do that was so remarkable in the SB? Put his hands up and knock the ball down?

Chris Jones is very good but he isnt worth it for the Chiefs when we are already overpaying Frank Clark.

Holy shit you’re ****ing reeruned. Jones was incredible in the 4th you butt****ing moron.

Nate Taylor says we will sign Jones long term

As expected, the Chiefs are placing the franchise tag on Chris Jones. Much of what I wrote during the combine remains true in the Chiefs’ plans toward re-signing Jones. https://t.co/7YeTxya1af
