Per Verderame: Veach would prefer to keep Chris Jones
Interesting article here. Not a huge fan of Verderame but he was at the Super Bowl and he does go to the combine. I think he gets some tips, albeit from Terez (who is a nice guy).
Here is the most interesting part of the article. 2021 and 2022 would be extremely difficult to manage. Quote:

I just don't see any way Mahomes doesn't get the biggest contract ever. Everyone compares to Brady but he only started taking discounts later, his first big contract wasn't a discount. |

If they separate the QB from the cap it will be a grave mistake for the NFL.
It will also benefit us tremendously. |

I suppose I should have figured that when the Chiefs did finally land their Franchise QB MVP and face of the NFL, that throngs of midwestern fans would hope to go cheap with him.
You pay Mahomes 40m a year if he wants 40m a year. Sure, there’s always examples like GB and Seattle, but I’d vastly prefer to trust our HOF coach in those scenarios than Pete and Mike McCarthy. Savvy franchises trade great pieces when they’re at a premium to reload on the draft and stay at a contending level. |

Yeah but Leonard Williams sucks and their GM has always been a fan of strong DL’s

Mahomes taking a "hometown discount" has been a constant theme of threads about the topic on here and on discussions about the Chiefs everywhere. A lot of people have been pointing to examples like Seattle, Green Bay, the Saints, etc, as to why Mahomes needs to consider 30m-35m a year, and I just don't understand that notion.
We finally have the face of the NFL on our franchise, it's the best possible situation to be in. There is not a competent GM in the NFL who wouldn't pay top dollar to have Mahomes on their roster and then be tasked with figuring the rest out from there. |

So yeah, the Chiefs can use all of it ease the pain of paying a $40M a year contract. A rebuilding team can use it to pay for their entire roster of QBs. It would help everyone equally. |

I love his pass rush, but I'm not sure its wise to saddle the team and limit the moves that we can make for just one player. |

But yeah, the ability to add another first-round pick AND maybe another 3-4 round pick AND free up that money to use on other players is tough to weight against. Which team is better? 2020 Chiefs with Chris Jones, and Emmanuel Ogbah/Darron Lee buy-low types at LB and G/C or 2020 Chiefs with Yetur Gross-Matos or a similar end of 1st pass rusher, Joe Schobert at ILB/WLB, and Graham Glasgow at G/C?

I do hate that the current cap situation somewhat punishes teams for drafting well and in particular drafting good QBs. At the same time though, the cap is what’s keeping the NFL from becoming the NBA, where big money players simply choose who they want to buddy up with, and MLB where the richest teams simply buy all the good players. So while it would help the Chiefs currently, I think it would be a bad move from a league wide perspective and might be detrimental to us down the road once we go back to being an unappealing small market team without a generational quarterback that everyone wants to play with. |

I don’t get your logic there. Why wouldn’t you let Mahomes take a pay cut if he’s willing to? |

How come they can't give him a big ass signing bonus to offset the cap numbers? Can't they give him a bunch of ridiculously easy incentives to offset the cap? I don't know shit about this stuff, but I thought that was the way to "cheat" the cap...

I'm glad Veach is playing the game to keep his value as high as possible, but tag and trade is the only thing that makes sense. We need 2 picks for him. |
