He'll get 24/25 mil a year if he doesn't show up this season from someone next year, even with a down ish year.

Okay, so they'll let him sit out and he'll be back week 8. If he plays lousy that's on him.

Sure but the odds he actually sits out of real games is like 1%

Jones is running out of time to act rationally, I think. I know he's betting on himself, but if he's waiting for the Chiefs to blink, I think he's going to be waiting a long time.

Pretty clear something has to have changed from Jones' camp. If the team had known it was this far apart from Jones and his representation, they would have handled free agency and the draft differently. And Jones would probably be a Carolina Panther right now.

Sure.

But then the Chiefs aren't in a position to win football games and or in a good playoff spot.

The Chiefs obviously realize they need Chris Jones. Hence the situation.

His agents job is to try to maximize his clients financial situation. It seems they may have played that well so far in terms of getting the Chiefs over the barrel.

There's no chance the Chiefs wanna go into the season with the DL they've currently constructed minus Chris Jones.

LMAO They'll be just fine regardless when it comes playoff time. Just might not be HFA.

week 8 arrival

when is the trade deadline?

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but what is the significance of week 8?

I'm not one to question his almighty, but this isn't the AFC you wanna be a wild card in me thinks.

You understand if Chris Jones sits out 8 weeks he will literally tank any negotiating leverage he has with any team right?

Why would we give you a big guarantee Chris? You have shown all you care about is money, once we pay you are you going to try? Your history says your best years are contract years and then when a team didn't pay you, you sat out and pouted...

You are entering the decline years of your career after showing you don't love the game...

Jones would literally be lighting 10's of millions of dollars on fire by sitting out half the season.

He has to report by then to get a year of service accrued, so if he didn't he would still be a Chief next year.

I wonder if he slips up and says something sassy on Twitter (like yesterday, when he shared the "Suck it" gif responding to that old lady), if the Chiefs play hardball and suspend him for "Conduct Detrimental" to avoid paying him altogether.

I'm talking about if shit gets absolutely beyond out of hand, of course, where we know he's going to be gone.

O.City apparently had a rough couple weeks at the office and started huffing his own supply.

Nah.

I'm not looking at this from his standpoint or what he can or cant' make in the future.

I'm looking at it from the Chiefs perspective. I don't think we're as good of a football team without Chris Jones as we are with him.
