If he.goes to the Raiders, Broncos or the Bengals then he is as.dead to me as Neil Smith was when he went.to the Broncos.

Unfair to compare him to Neil Smith. As I understand that scenario, Neil was offered good money by the Chiefs, but he was determined to get more, so he went free agent. Denver offered him much less and he tried to return to the Chiefs and get the original offer. At that point the Chiefs only offered him what Denver had offered because he had found out nobody would pay him what the Chiefs would have originally. Since the Chiefs wouldn't give him the original deal he signed with Denver for the same amount of money that KC would have paid.

The deal with Chris Jones has yet to play out, but it's hardly comparable to what happened with Neil Smith.

KC offered $27.5M per season last year. Jones turned it down and then pulled a holdout. I assume they are offering him similar money right now, perhaps more than that. But there is good reason to believe he'll sign with someone else for an extra $5M per year.

If he signs somewhere else for more money, I'll be disappointed, but I can understand why he would do that. I may not agree, but it's his decision.

I don't know if you're agreeing with the prior poster or not, but Neil Smith signed with Denver as a **** you to the Chiefs when it was him that caused the whole situation. I don't think Neil Smith and Chris Jones are comparable here.

You can look at it however you want to.....Neil went to the Broncos which was enough to see him as evil.

Yep, **** Neil...

If Jones go somewhere else to make 2-4 mil more after taxes over 3 years he will not be forgotten as bad as Neil, but he won't be loved here like he could be. Hell, he comes back and finishes his career, folks will be wearing 95 jerseys for the next 30 years.

This shit was over last summer. When he missed a game over it that's it. There will be no Jones this season in KC.
