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.

The list does not pass the smell test.

Peak carries a TON of weight to the HoF selection committee. And Jones has a pretty damn unassailable peak, especially in the context of team success.

We are already a dynasty. We are going to be remembered. I would take Mahomes winning 8 Super Bowls over a 3 peat.

Seoncd, you don't know my sample size. Last year I spent a whole weekend working with over 60 players out in Texas. You don't know shit about me dickhead. You're some blowhard that literally knows nothing about this.

Furthermore, you missed my point. I don't care what the players get. If they want to chase the money that's fine. But the idiotic comments about how they have to get tens of millions now to setup generational wealth or somehow their grandchildren will live in poverty is some shit that poster children for mental poverty would say.

And anyone saying 5 million isn't enough to finish your life on doesn't know shit about money. Period. And I clear 2 million a year.

For argument's sake, let's say I believe that you clear $2m a year. If you've been doing your job for 2.5 years now at this clip, why haven't you retired? You should be set for life.

Not only that, are you trying to make more money now than you have before? What incentive do you have to do that?

But I'm already sitting on 5/6 vs a 6. I already know, prior to the season, I'm gonna be in the mix with Andy and Pat and Trav. I know I'm doubling down, before I even see the cards.

I'm counting cards here, there's a **** load of kings and aces left and I'm flush with cash.

The way I look at it. We go all in next year and drop our odds of winning the next 2 years after that.

Or basically be Super Bowl favorites the next 3 years.

I haven't retired because I love what I do. Most likely I will open another business this year as well.

I can retire today and be set. Yes.

Yet it's not okay for an NFL player to have the same attitude?

Chris Jones can't love what he does, love where he plays, but also want more money from it? Why? You'd be the classic definition of a hypocrite.

I'll copy and paste my previous comment........



Chris Jones has already made tens of millions. As long as he's not stupid, he's set for life.

If he wants 32 million a year over 28 million that's fine. If he wants to win more championships then he may have to choose slightly less money that truly won't effect the quality of his life in any way.

I hope the same. A little worried because Sneed was a 4th rounder and coming off that original contract. If I had to guess, he's going to be looking for the BIG BIG BIG $$. Some team will overpay. Tag may be the only option. I still trust in BV, so we'll see. :grovel:

And you're probably correct on #2, but given this guy doesn't understand basic finance gives me 100% certainty he doesn't own much less run his own company. Meanwhile, I provide financial advice every day to business owners. I think there's enough of a disconnect there to at least know he's full of shit. I don't care what he does or how much he makes, but it isn't 2 million. It's entertaining watching people downright lie about shit. He's probably booking his next trip to Belize right now...

it's been a long, long hiatus from the forums for me (I wonder how many of you remember me :P). so here's my story! I ended up leaving MIT my senior year and started a company (called Dropbox) with a couple of my friends from school and moved out to SF. it's basically a super, super simple way to share files across computers/other people. it works on windows, os x, and linux, so you all should give it a shot :)

here's a link to the site - http://getdropbox.com (grrr domain squatters) and here's a link to a digg article about us (which will hopefully make it to the top of digg with some help ;)

let me know what you all think!

so back to this...........

The talking heads FEEL like we're not gonna get this done.

The fact is, we're not in the SB without Jones. He undoubtedly had his greatest post season ever, and then singlehandedly pounced the Bungles last year.

He def still has 3 more all pro type seasons in him.

And then of course, how do we let Sneed walk? Can't even enjoy the SB for a hot minute because if we're gonna make another run, I feel like we DO need both of these players back.

Profile says he's been here today! (as any good Chiefs fan would be, of course)

So again, chill out boys. Whatever race you think you're running, this dude's lapped you several times by now.

This is similar to Tyreek. If he wants to be a Chief, he needs to take less than top of the market money. The cap prevents teams from having too many players with market setting contracts.

And regardless of what people say, Reek clearly has second thoughts because he's constantly talked about the Chiefs since he left, and said he wished he were playing in this game.

Money does a lot of things AT FIRST, but the saying about it not buying happiness is (kinda) true. It does, up to a point. then it's diminishing returns.

Makes me wonder if Chris will look at Tyreek and have a lightbulb moment where he decides to take a little less and cement a legacy here or if it's gonna be all about the payday.

I really do think we need Sneed and Jones back if we want to talk about legit 3-peat.

Agree with all of it, but I think it’s more than money for the sake of money for some players. It’s a pride thing as well. Wanting to be recognized as the best and having a salary reflecting that feeds into it.

A good example would be how Jamar Chase is waiting for Jefferson to get his deal before signing one with the Bengals. He’s gonna get paid and paid a ton, but he seems to want one higher than JJ. That’s where the pride kicks in some.

Just hoping Jones sees Tyreek like you mentioned and decides on KC. He clearly loves it here and doesn’t want to leave, but in order to stay and cement a legacy, he will have to do it for less than he is worth. It’s up to him to decide what is most important. Very few if any contenders (outside of maybe Houston) will have the cap space to sign him at $30 million + a year.

Originally Posted by TheGuardian (Post 17401740)

I agree with that totally. It's a "I'm the highest paid in the league" ego thing. It's validation that "I'm the best" based off of that metric.

However....

The difference in a Chase and Jefferson is that those guys don't come from a SB winning culture. So it's all they know and are playing for.

Where Reek does know that culture, and then got his bag, and clearly has some second thoughts.

WE will know in a month. I really hope we can bring Chris back because it's almost like he, Pat, and Trav are the cornerstones of this team rn.
