Chris Jones clearly has eyes on the future
Following latest comments, this could get a bit messier than I had previously thought.

No worth his price. He needs to come down to reality. Where was he when we get ran over on the ground? Sacks mean shit. Not that important of a stat.

Guys this whole article is dumb because the writer misread the tweet. He’s saying he can wait until he gets a one day contract in retirement (DJ/JC) because he has a decade more to play.

That's a great point on Clark manning up and playing out his contract. Wouldn't surprise me if Jones has to wait a year to get paid. |

Well, if that ends up happening, that’s on him and his agent.
And the Chiefs will have probably dodged the bullet on another huge over the market contract (see: Berry, Houston) that comes back to bite them later. So Chiefs win either way as far as I’m concerned. I like Jones and would like to see him a part of the team going forward, but it needs to be at a fair price. At this point, Jones has a LOT more to lose than the Chiefs. |

He gets hurt ala the franchise tag holdouts tend to do and is in and out of the lineup with a hammy or groin or something, it hurts the Chiefs on the field. |

We value Jones. Don't let this "fake" drama confuse you.
This gets done, likely before training camp. I get why he wants Frank Clark type money, you would too. Its all part of the process. If Carl Petersen was the GM I'd be nervous. Veach gets this done. I have no doubt. Tyreek is the difficult one. Hell I think I'd lock up Fuller while I'm at it if I'm Veach. I don't know what I'd do with Tyreek. That's a really difficult situation. |

He’s a great player, but he’s not irreplaceable. Patrick Mahomes is the ONLY player on this team that gets that designation. If he’s more concerned about being the highest paid DT (or close to) than being a key defensive cog on a potential Super Bowl winning team, then his loss. |

Hill doesn't fit the mold of a guy you give a big money, long term deal to - he has obvious character issues and when he loses a step he won't be worth what the contract is paying. I know that on CP people think he's the fastest player in the NFL by 3 steps, but the reality is that when his speed declines he won't be worth elite money. You pay Jones, and if Hill stays out of trouble and wants to sign a deal that is friendly to the team, and you can squeeze him in with other priorities, ok. Otherwise you continue stockpiling talent at the skill positions on offense and let someone else overpay him. |

Chris Jones was on the field last year and the Defense was garbage.
The biggest difference maker is going to be the subtraction of Bob Sutton and the addition of a 4-3 scheme. While I like Chris Jones, he doesn't have the leverage... see how he plays in the NFL under Spags... and if he will be worth it in the future. |
