ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs The fate of Chris Jones 2023 edition

This back and forth has legitimately become one of the dumbest on CP.

CJ signed a contract. If he chose to retire, he would receive none of the compensation. If he chooses to fulfill the contract in full, he receives all that he was guaranteed.

If he fulfills only part of the contract, he only receives part of the compensation.

There's nothing tantamount to murder here. Stand your ground or otherwise.

Sounds like legal murder to me based on feels but probably not the best place to discuss it.

Seems counterintuitive no?

No not counterintuitive.

Breaking the law is only illegal if you get caught.

And even then it's usually only a problem if you hire a bad attorney.

I mean, you didn't murder someone.

It was a clear case of self-defense/stand your ground.

Might have to break a cookie jar and bring in a Shelby Harris or Suh…

I could see how the thread title might be confusing.

Honestly, I'm beginning to hope Jones does NOT report by tomorrow; that extra spot could allow us to keep Smith-Marsette past cutdown day and see what injuries play out prior to Jones' return or trade.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me AT ALL if Bert used the situation to enable him to carry an extra roster spot. It's tailor made for our need for an extra player.

We’ve actually reached the I hope Jones doesn’t show up so we can keep 8 WRs part of the preseason

If CJ is not willing to move, Arizona has about $27m in cap space, 2 first round picks (both potential top 5) 1 second round and 3 third round picks. Let’s make a deal.

They're tanking. Trading for Jones isn't in the plan
