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:

Patrick Mahomes is the disruptive game changer from now on. And in any given year with him at the helm, when you are able to field competent starters at just about every position, you're going to contend for a Super Bowl. Probably win it, too. I said it in the other thread. It's not sexy to trade Jones. But it's probably good business if you get a 1st rounder in the top 16 picks plus some change to go along with it. And it probably sets you up the best in the long run. |

The Seahawks wiffing on a 1:1 R1 replacement for Clark has no real bearing on whether it’d happen to us.

Ok so does the transition tag allow a player to "shop" themselves and with the knowledge of a certain trade compensation if they find someone willing to sign them to a long term deal?
This year since we are in the last year of the CBA teams can use both tags if they so choose.

I know that they can do that with the Franchise Tag. IIRC that is like 2 1st or something along those lines. I thought that the Transition was like a 1st and a 3rd in compensation.

But if they move Jones, they're taking the risk that improving the depth with good-not-great defenders will make the defense better than (or at least at the same level as) keeping their most impactful defender and filling in depth pieces with lesser guys. Depth helps you weather the sesaon and make the playoffs... but it's playmakers who matter most in the playoffs.

Depth in the NFL is critical. Just look at what happened to our defensive ends this year. MASH unit. |

It's going to be AWFULLY hard to find someone who can be a real year 1 impact defender in the range they're likely to be picking in the first, even if they can garner a first for Jones, unless you're pairing your two firsts to move up and go get one of the more elite defenders. MAYBE Zach Baun at LB (playing rush end on passing downs) and Justin Madubuike or Jordan Elliott at DT (at the end of round 2?) gets you some instant impact and makes up for some of the lost pass rush. But still... risky. The Seahawks are a great example of that. They might have won the Super Bowl themselves had they held on to Clark and had a playmaking DE available to them in the playoffs.

This was on my feed:
Actions speak louder than words, they say, but right now, what Brett Veach says is all we have to go on. The Kansas City Chiefs general manager recently sat down with team reporter B.J. Kissel for an episode of In The Trenches, the team’s podcast, and answered a number of questions about the team’s recent Super Bowl win, free agency, and the upcoming draft. Specifically, Kissel asked Veach what he could say publicly about Chris Jones and the team’s ability or interest to retain him. Veach made it very clear that the team was very interested in bringing back the Pro Bowl defensive lineman. TOP ARTICLES 2/5 LA Rams: Are you comfortable with John Wolford at quarterback? “Chris is obviously a great player and he’s a priority. We have a lot of priorities. Look, we know how hard it is to win a Super Bowl and it hadn’t been in done 50 years and we won it with the group we had last year. So I think that as we attack this offseason—and first up is free agency before the draft—our goal and our mindset is to do whatever we can to retain as many players as we can and Chris is at the top of that list because of the talent he is. We have a lot of tough decisions to make, but our goal and our intent is to retain as much of this team as much as possible.” At this point, the record clearly states that both sides want to work something out, not just for the immediate future, too. Jones has been clear that he wants to stay in Kansas City for his career, and the Chiefs have vocal about bringing back Jones now multiple times. On the surface, this is very good news. If Veach somehow knew that the Chiefs could not afford Jones for the long-term given his likely contractual demands (perhaps $20 million per season), then Veach could begin to grease the wheels by discussing the financial realities of the modern NFL or he could even refuse to comment. Instead, he increases the expectations of fans by saying the Chiefs want him back, too. |
