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.

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

I guess I would respond to this by saying that you should probably re-watch the SB and pay close attention to his play. He absolutely dominated his spot, especially in the 4th.

Yeah, it is a tough world out there. I don't see how he could possibly get by on that.
Sign him to an Eric Berry, Dewayne Bowe contract right now!

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

Good deal.

Actually, we don't know that. What we do know is that Jones had a marked impact on us winning the super bowl.

This is just how it goes, guys. You can't have a team full of A players. With mahomes, you have an A+ guy that must be retained at all costs. But I'd rather fill the roster with B players rather than a couple expensive As and the rest Cs and Ds.

In fact, in this scenario, our 53 man roster construction would be B-52, Bomber.

I feel the same way as I always have. I like Jones, wish he fit on this team but I don't see it happening because he can demand insane money. I also 100% believe he doesn't play a down on a franchise tag so I'm just hoping to get a first and third but hope someone is as dumb as we were and gives a first and second.

If they aren't talking with Miami they should be. I'm pretty sure Jones wouldn't mind taking his talents, SB ring and gigantic new contract to South Beach either.

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?

There is no way in hell Fuller is signing at $10 mil a season ago. Before he was here he was considered a premier corner and has been really good for us.

Byron Jones is going to set the market at 18-$20 mil/year and depending on how many stupid teams get involved it could be more. Hell Steven Nelson got an $8.5 mil AAV, so you think Fuller if only going to cost a little more than that? The minimum Fuller signs for is $15 mil/yr.

He wasn’t even a damn CB last year dude. Pay attention.

He also had injury issues. He isn’t touching $15M per year. LOL!

Armstead who is a DT just got paid

The #49ers are giving star DL Arik Armstead a 5-year deal, sources say, avoiding the franchise tag and locking him up long-term. He gets up to $85M on his new deal.������

I wish Jones would take something in that range!

It won't create goodwill? It was either tag him or let him go and Chris Jones knows that the team isnt just gonna let him walk. It's been a couple of days since the new CBA was put into place and no one was negotiating until they knew for sure what was going to happen. It'd be stupid to do it.

Also who the **** is Jeff Darlington

He did good but it wasnt just him. You cant pay him a huge contract when we already have Frank Clark.

49ers just did!! Armstead and Ford

[Chiefspants]

Jones has a legit case for SBMVP. His deflection on the 49ers 3 and out when we were down 3 may have saved the game alone (Kittle was wide open). He then outdid himself with two more deflections that shut down the 49ers last gasp drive.

I understand if we can’t keep him, but I don’t blame him one bit. I wouldn’t play another down until I got paid by someone.

Too risky for him to play on the tag when you can get your big money contract now.

And he got paid to play. Either he works out a deal with KC that he likes or he doesn't, I don't get the whole being pissed off stuff. He will get paid somewhere to his liking.
