Safest is to assume that players only pocket/receive 1/2 of what their salary is. |

Let's assume for the sake of argument that Jones has only pocketed half his $90 million in career earnings. That's $45 million. Is there any reason at all to say he hasn't cleared another several million in various endorsement opportunities over his career? It's not going to be Mahomes money as a DL, but he's gotta be at $50 million in take-home over the course of his career. I mean we have inverted yield curves on CDs that will turn out 5% over 9-12 months. There's no reason why he couldn't be pulling down $2+ million/yr in interest on the res. Jones shouldn't be hurting. Ever. But ultimately he's a guy who clearly sees his contract as a proxy for respect. As I said in the summer - dude's pride is driving the bus. Or at least it was. We'll see if anything has changed in that regard but I don't see any reason to presume it has. |

Hell, if a person has 1.5-2 million they could live very well in most of the country and still have the bag in the end. |
I’d give jones 28 mil a year, 4 year deal. 90 mil guaranteed with 3 mil in incentives each year. 1 mil each for all pro, 10 plus sacks and Super Bowl win

So, how could this look?
1. Restructure Patrick Mahomes ($36M) +$28.8M 2. Extend Justin Reid (4 years, $49.4M) +$6M 3. Cut Marquez Valdes-Scantling + $12M 4. ERFA Tender Herring, Caliendo, Cochrane, Nazi Johnson -$3.87M 5. Extend Drue Tranquill (2 years, $10.2M) -$4.6M 6. Extend Charles Omenihu (3 years, $29.9M) +$3M Using the OTC calculator, that puts the Chiefs at $52.375M of cap space with 49 players under contract. So, let’s experiment with a Jones AND Sneed re-up. 1. Extend Chris Jones (5 years, $150M, with $40M signing bonus, cap hits of 18.1, 26.1, 28.1 in first 3 years to get him to 3/88 and add some incentives to get to 3/90 ) 2. Extend L’Jarious Sneed (4 years, $80.9M with $24M signing bonus, cap hits of 13.125, 19.2, 22.2, 25.3) With that done, the Chiefs are sitting with 50 players under contract for 2024 with about $36.5M in cap space. The 2025 outlook is tough, though – 27 players under contract with only about $20M of effective cap space. You’d be able to create a lot of space in 25 with a Mahomes restructure, but this plan probably leaves you committing to – at most – 1 of Bolton, Humphrey, and Trey Smith. Or cutting Joe Thuney and eating $10M of dead cap to gain $16M in space. |

That's a weird comparison. |

It's a chance at a 3-peat, fellas. Oh it makes 2025 a real shit-show. At worst it will make 2026 a problem. But this is a chance that, what, a half dozen teams in NFL history have had? It is against every fiber of my being but I really think it's how we should approach it. |
