He shows up he gets paid while he isnt playing and getting into shape.

Well I guess we can just jump on the Chris Jones ain't very ****ing smart train. Sure he can afford to miss the first 7 games or whatever since he is already wealthy but he will NEVER make up the difference in $ so its just sunk cost to be a stubborn asshole if he does it.

And if he does that well, **** that guy he is truly stupid.

We got the best out of Jones when he was motivated to win and get big money. Now he's got the rings so I seriously doubt he will go all out for any team that gives him more big money.

Sure they can.

The Chiefs PRESENTLY have Mahomes and one of the highest paid defenders in the league.

Jones has a $28 million cap hit and gets a $20 million base this season. He has the 7th largest cap hit in the league this season; 3rd highest by a defensive player. He has the 7th highest base salary in the league; 2nd highest by a defensive player.

Chris Jones is getting paid HANDSOMELY this year. And he's hitting the cap in a substantial way.

And if he'd get his ass in here and PLAY on that deal, we'd absolutely have a SB team.

I guess what I should say is it isn't doable to continue to pay Jones that way at his age when we have multiple other players coming up for contracts.

That's probably the most ridiculous part of this. Its not like he is on a rookie deal playing for $4-5MM this season. He is going to lose out on substantial money he will never recoup just to be a baby about it.

Between Hill and OBJ you think these guys would know better by now not to play chicken with Veach and Reid.

When he said him and Leveon Bell are best friends, I figured he would have learned how bad that ended for Leveon.

That’s what I don’t get about all of this. Dude…you’re getting paid a ton of money. Don’t show up for camp? Ok. Get your ass here for week 1 and then shoot for that contract next year. It’s not like you haven’t already had a big contract.

He apparently thinks he needs 2 big contracts not 1...

Right?

Dude is pissing me off at this point.

****er's getting PAID this year. Really really well.

Get your ass in here and play football. Nobody's ****ed you over at any point in this process. You're being quite a dickchugger right now, Chris.

(and no, I would not say that to his face. He is a MASSIVE human being and could swallow me whole without buttering my ears)

Veach has learned not to budge on risky contract opportunities. The Frank Clark contract really showed him how hard things can be and that was with a rookie contract Mahomes for most of it.

I know people love Chris, but it's smart to do what we did to Tyreek. Putting a ton of eggs in one basket after having the majority of them in the Mahomes basket isn't smart.

Chris is an amazing player but I'm taking the draft picks and money to buy 2 Omenihu level players over paying him insane money.

That’s exactly the issue.

Smart for Jones to make this push for his last big $$$ deal now, before he turns 30. The tag number for DT’s was only $18.9M this year, KC would love to have him play at that number next year.

It's not smart to not pay elite players. Eventually, it will catch up to you.

Plus, I don't really understand the thought of "trade him and get draft picks so we can have cheap players and they'll be good cause we draft so well".

Why not just keep said player and keep drafting well?

We tried.

He's not being reasonable.

There's only so much you can do.
