Chris Jones agreed to deal with KC (1 year deal)

[frostbitmic]

Shoulda held out for Bosa money Mr. Jones. Now you'll tear your spleen and never be the same player.

Never understood the hold out and then accept a deal barely better than what they were holding out for. Jones, Sauqon, Jacobs 

I’m betting part of it was to avoid training camp.

21-20 is an ass kicking ?

 

KC's defense actually played very well all things considered. 

Yeah, the Chiefs missed Kelce a lot more than Jones.

Without Kelce and Jones, the Queefs are an average team.

Take away two of the top 10 players in the NFL, and suddenly they're average.  Who would've guessed?

Deal is worth up to $25 million.

 

Quote

Jones will sign a one-year contract worth up to $25 million, per sources informed of the situation.

 

The $19.5 million base salary he was already set to make (minus $1.08 million game check for Week 1 and fines incurred for skipping training camp) remains the same, but he has the chance to make more with another successful campaign.

 

The details of Jones' incentives are as follows, according to Rapoport:

 

$1 million for 35% playing time.

$1 million for 50% playing time

$1.25 million for 10 sacks.

Another $500K for 15 sacks.

$1 million for first-team All Pro and Super Bowl LVIII appearance

$2 million for Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl LVIII win.

 

A notable aspect of the pact is that Kansas City retained the ability to franchise tag Jones in 2024, ensuring leverage over the star defensive tackle and potentially keeping him off the open market. The tag number would be about $32.4 million in 2024, NFL Network's James Palmer reported (a 120% increase on his 2023 cap number).

 

Looking at the incentives, unless he’s injured he should easily hit the first 2, making the contract likely worth at least $21.5M. He might be able to hit the 10 sack incentive, which would push the contract value up to $22.75M.

 

The last $3.5M in incentives will be harder to hit and depend more on the chiefs as a whole.

 

Chiefs also retain the ability to tag him.

 

So he’s really not getting that much more.

We should go after him in FA next year…

[TheFunPolice]

good deal for the player. Tag him next year and he gets $32 million! Or he cashes in in free agency.

so basically chris jones has to perform/stay healthy to recover some of the losses he's accrued via fine and game check. the chiefs get a player who will be extremely motivated, and have control over him if they want it after the season. for him to reach the highest incentives, it means a super bowl appearance, him winning DPOY or a super bowl win. i'm sure the chiefs will be happy to pay whatever at that point. 

 

what did chris jones gain in all of this? his agents are morons.

Still better than the Bills unfortunately. If Josh Allen stinks, then the whole team is garbage.
