Probably the average of the Top 5 guys, so 24.5 to 25.5M, somewhere in there.


Are we sure on that? We know KC gets a salary cap credit for next year in that scenario.

So say he holds out 8 games. Chiefs get $9M in cap credit towards 24 + it lowers his franchise tag number so much it isn’t a problem for KC to tag him at it?

That significantly reduces the players leverage on the holdout.

Jones is playing 69D Chess

Welp, i guess we're going to see what the defense looks like without a reliable interior pass rush for the first 8 weeks. Should be interesting. Especially the NYJ game Week 4. Hopefully their OL won't have fully gelled yet.

I have no doubt we'll find other ways to get pressure. As long as the guys in the middle can hold on run defense we'll be fine.

Have a feeling we're gonna see a metric **** load of blitz package designs this year.


Would they go to an odd front in this scenario?

Chenal-Tranquill-Bolton-Gay could be interesting.

Not sure the Es are stout enough without Omenihu for that. Guess they could run Danna-Shelton-Karlaftis but that seems risky.

Yep, and Jones wasn't exactly lights out versus the run anyway.

Who does Jackson Mahomes like more right now?

A) His amazing brother.
B) Chris Jones for absorbing the fanbase hatred.

He's always had 10 sweaty, veiny reasons for liking Chris Jones more.

Spags is going to mix in a lot of zone blitzes, safety blitzes, etc. Basically what he was dialing up before last season. It'll be back to blitzing 40-odd percent of the time.

Well, yeah. That was a pretty obvious goal of the owners in this last CBA.

Would not be surprised to see some decent d-linemen cut from the Jets and the Chiefs possibly signing one.

I’m not really sure the value checks there

He was elite in a contract year last year. He knew he had to play well to have leverage for what he's doing now.

The facts are that he's had only 2 years with double digit sacks and has not done much of anything in the playoffs stat wise other than dominating an OL composed of backups in the championship game. Even Frank ****ing Clark had 1.5 sacks that game.

I get he had a few pressures and batted passes but that's not worth paying an insane contract when he's enter in his 30's

His contract years are also far and away his best years...
