So I’m sure this has already been posted by now. Sorry, haven’t been on here all weekend.

Rumors coming out of the last day of NFL Combine:

• 49ers expected to work on Aiyuk extension after free agency ends
•The ‘feeling’ is Chris Jones will remain in Kansas City if $27-28M deal is offered
• Michigan's J.J. McCarthy Could be Top-10 Pick After Combine

So it kind of ‘sounds’ like from some circles, the Chiefs are gonna really try and get this done with CJ. So if $27-$28 million possibly gets it done, then what do you all think of a deal structured something like this:

4 years, $110 million. $75 million guaranteed. (avg. yearly value $27.5 mil.)

Year 1 - $15 mil. (Fully gtd.)
Year 2 - $25 mil. (Fully gtd.)
Year 3 - $35 mil. (Fully gtd.)
Year 4 - $35 mil. (in essence, voidable)

Is this a possibility? Can Chiefs get Klutz brothers to agree to this? Even at his age, I’d feel really good about those first 2 years. I don’t like year 3, but it’s a price there gonna have to pay somewhere to get a deal done. At least the cap should be significantly higher by the 3rd year of the deal. The 4th year would be essentially voidable so you could get out of it after 3 with little cap implication.

Would you do this deal for Chris Jones?

More importantly, would Chris Jones take this deal?

(Again, I’m operating with the assumption Veach is gonna do what he can to get a deal done)
