Maybe then we won't be paying a G the highest amount in the league at his spot though?

That's also very possible. Takes 2 to tango.

Who the **** are you again?

Chris Jones is much dumber than I imagined.

It would be beneficial for both sides to get a deal done now. KC gets to lower his high cap number this year and Jones gets to get his final big $$$ deal.

We do pay elite players though. We just don't pay them a second time. Which going through NFL history is pretty obviously the correct way of conducting business.

Why not?

1. He wants insane money, apparently $30 million.
2. An injury to him ****s your entire team bc of resources in one player (see Buffalo once Von got hurt).
3. He's got maybe 3 years left of being this good before the decline and we get one of them this season.
4. Having 4 solid rushers instead of one great one isn't the end of the world for us.

Follow the tea leaves. Drafted Karlaftis, turned around and drafted FAU, reportedly wanted DT Mazi Smith in the draft, signed Omenihu who is one of the better interior rushers on passing downs.

They've known about this and have been preparing for it

As always, you have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about. Kindly return to your hole while the grown-ups discuss football.

I think they fully expected to pay Jones. Had they not, they would have traded him and done something with the $20M in savings and picks to help this year.

His demands changed when the paper was presented for a pen. Clearly.

I had that happen last week.

Worked out a good deal (that the party had agreed to previously). Then backed out the next day.

It’s no fun for anyone.

A lot of people seem to think trading him now was a part of the plan. If they wanted to trade him, like you said, it would have been before the draft so they could have made preparations for this season. Trading him now puts our D in quite a bind. It isn't built to exist without Chris Jones at the moment.

You trade him now if you get a great offer.

I am guessing Jones doesn't want to get traded, so he didn't show his hand on the holdout until so late in the process so they wouldn't explore that option.

Feels like it is very late in the game of playing chicken, and the much bigger side is about to plow through the other if they refuse to break.

I wouldn't pay 30, sure.

The Bills have 3 or 4 pass rushers they drafted similar to Karlaftis and FAU, but carry on.

3 years of elite DPOY DT play is worth paying for

Having 4 solid rushers is fine, why can't we have that along with an elite one like they'd budgeted in for this year?

They brought in DL because the guys they drafted either didn't work out or left.
