Do we make a play for Chris Jones?

[BuffaloRebound]

I’d rather spend money on a shaky kicker, scrub special teams only guys and undersized aging defenders who get pushed around come January.

I hope someone in the NFC offers him big bucks.

WHAT MONEY

They didn’t tell you about your pay cut? I’m sorry, HR was supposed to be in touch. 

 

Let’s draft our own superstars. They are cheaper that way.

Let’s do both and make Chiefs weaker in the process.

They have 23m in cap space without touching Pat's deal again and the ability to use the tag. I am pretty sure Jones will be a Chief in 2024. I think it is more likely they move on from Kelce than Jones.

Maybe...but I think there are still some residual hard feelings from the Jones camp on the lengths they had to go to even get a "decent" deal for him.  I doubt they take that discount again.

The real Super Bowl MVP was Chris Jones. Not Mahomes.

 

He is also an unrestricted free agent, and the Chiefs refused to give him a long term deal next season.

 

It would take a lot of moving money around, but do you make a play for the game changing stud?

Expand  

29, plus Sportrac says he's worth about 28MIL/yr.   Pass. 

 

Can we pay him a grand to make sure he ends up in the NFC though?

[Warriorspikes51]

NFC please

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Can you imagine making that pitch to CJ? 😂🤣

I mean sure, that'd even make sense keeping something you know is working, but that does mean there's even more holes on offense they've got to fill.

If KC had put a QB on the field who was equivalent to Purdy, then SF would’ve easily walked away with the win. Mahomes was the difference between a not very close loss and a very close win.

Mahomes was the MVP of the last drive, not the entire game.

[Da webster guy]

jones is unbelievable     he won them the Bills game and the superbowl.    

[wppete]

The best we can hope for is he leaves KC and ends up in the NFC.

I wasn't saying they will move on from Kelce. If he still wants to play he will be a Chief. But I think they'd be more willing to move on from him than Jones. 

[947]

Top-5 Defensive players often sign 1yr cheap prove-it deals with rivals, so why not?

[Your Brown Eye]

broski ain't leaving KC, theyll find a way to keep him

[gonzo1105]

Well they are most likely not going to franchise him because that is likely to go to Sneed who would make absolute bank on the open market. 
 

Id put it as likely that Jones hits the open market. He didn’t give the Chiefs a sweetheart deal last year and I’m sure he has the same mindset this year to be the 2nd highest paid DT after Donald 

[Gregg]

Do we even have the cap space to sign him. I think the Bills will try and sign some of their own FA. Otherwise, I don't expect any major moves in FA this year.

Would be a wet dream come true for Bills fans but not possible.

 

Even though the Chiefs are projected to have a lot more money than the Bills they also aren't likely going to be able to keep him for obvious reasons....because Jones is about to become the highest paid defensive player in NFL history. Just hope he goes to a team that doesn't have the greatest HC or QB, but as long as he leaves KC it's a start...

KC scored on their last four drives and on five of their last six. Seems to me like Mahomes dialed it in before OT. And he did it with a far inferior supporting cast compared to what Purdy was working with.
