As long as he doesn't completely fall off we should be getting enough assets back to make it worth it. Even if he does end up holding out for the early season.

Agreed. Spags is no bum and I'm sure he is advising Veach on how much he feels Jones is worth to the D.

If Jones is really that greedy or simply doesn't want to be here then he can **** off

I’m sure this has been covered in depth, but can someone educate me on how many games Jones has to play in order to vest free agency? It was my understanding that the Chiefs hold some leverage because if he just held out he would not in fact be a free agent at the end of the year (not to mention not getting paid). What’s the deal on this?

I'd do what the Colts did.

Call his bluff. Tell him he has permission to seek a trade.

This is stupid. Put him to a real decision point.

With Omenihu out for 6 weeks and Jones threatening until week 8, here's who we play:

1 Lions
2 Jaguars
3 Bears
4 Jets
5 Vikings
6 Broncos
7 Chargers
8 Broncos

I think we'll be fine. I'd expect a lot of blitzes to generate pressure. Let's hope the secondary continues balling out.

I mean, I'd have to think we'll hear something like that in the next couple days (Friday afternoon?) if he doesn't back down. That said, I don't think Veach plays that card unless he's really at his ropes' end, and it moves quickly like it did with Tyreek.

I just don't see why he is so aggressive/pissed, because that implies that he and the Chiefs are very far apart.

I can't imagine the delta is that substantial - $3-5MM? Is he really choosing to forfeit $10MM in fines to ruin his reputation to ultimately make an extra $2MM?

If his ego won't let him split the difference, then that's a him problem.

Honestly, without Jones, we may be the underdog against the Jets.

But is that rollover to 2024 cap?

I don't think it goes to current season cap.

Ohh dear. The Jets will most likely be 1-2. Chiefs 7 point favorites

Marcellus 08-22-2023 05:49 PM

Jones replied on Twitter he can afford to sit until
Week 8.

Well dummy then you can afford to take less on this contract too. Seems between camp and 7 games he would lose around $10MM.

He is just being stupid at this point.

You haven’t seen the Jets OL if you think that.

Molitoth 08-22-2023 05:51 PM

**** Chris Jones. Dude is a selfish prick at this point.
He will never be even half the hero Mahomes is.


Oxymoron:

"I DEMAND MORE MONEY!!!"
"I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY To EAT MILLIONS IN FINES!"

What a douche.

Chieftain 08-22-2023 05:51 PM

Trade him to the Bears for a 1st and 2nd. Sign the best free agent DT available. Work with that.

smithandrew051 08-22-2023 05:52 PM

I really think this dude sucks and can get ****ed, unless we sign him
