Kinda weird how people quickly forgot back in 2010 when Brett Veach had $177 and a Hyvee coupon in cap space but yet he extended Chris Jones, extended Sammy and gave Mahomes half a billion. The Chiefs have all of the leverage. they can tag his fat ass and use the Mahomes contract restructure at any time they want. And Patrick won't be mad at it all. "Hey Patrick. This is Brett. We just restructured your contract to free cap space. The check for about $15 million can be sent by check or direct deposit. You choose." Chris has no leg to stand on. He's already ****ed up but not enough to make it hurt us. If he shows up now we won't be able to afford his outrageous $30+ million cap hit which won't allow us to tag him unless it's short term to get a trade done at the combine. If I'm an NFL player, especially on this team, I'm looking at what happened to Orlando Brown Jr and now Chris Jones and thinking "yeah that agent fee is worth it to not end up like those two." |

KC is willing to pay their stars good contracts, they just won't overpay for them. |

Players have a short window to make as much guaranteed money as possible. Once an injury happens, the team will discard them and use every measure possible to not pay them and/or get out of the contract.

I’d really like to know exactly what Veach/Clark/Andy offered.

If money is your primary motivation, take the Rosenhaus/Hill approach where they knew what they wanted, they were up front about it with the organization and then they actively sought a team willing to provide the contract they wanted AND the sort of trade package that made it worth KC's while to deal him. I don't begrudge him wanting to get $30 million. I think it's wrongheaded, but fine - shoot your shot. But if you wanted that, the way to get it was to work WITH the Chiefs and the rest of the league to try to get a trade done. It's not THIS. |

Something like 4 years, $100 million with $50 million in guarantees. That's where the market went and that's a fair offer for the Chiefs to have made. And I think Jones agents are just ignoring that fact. |

People get pissy about this but take emotion out of it. He's had only 2 seasons with double-digit sacks and didn't have any sacks until this last season. His magnus opus was dominating a Bengals OL composed of backup players. And then the next game was invisible in the SB. I like Chris but he has no leverage to demand such a high amount. |
Let's say 4/$100 w/ a $28 million signing bonus:
Year 1 of the extension; age 30 season for Jones: 8 million base (guaranteed) plus $7 million signing bonus for a $15 million hit. Year 2: $14 million base (guaranteed), $7 million bonus (age 31) Year 3: $20 million base, $7 million bonus (age 32) Year 4: $30 million base, $7 million bonus (age 33) Real money: 3 years, $70 million and the Chiefs absorb a $7 million dead cap hit in 2027 instead of pay/extend a 33 yr old Chris Jones. Cap hits are $15, $21 and $27 million over the first 3 years of the extension. And of course you could, if you wanted to, goose those numbers a little by moving some money out of this year's deal into those years to reduce his 2023 $28 million cap hit. That's eminently reasonable. It's absolutely in line with the market. It's $50 million in guarantees with $70 million reasonably likely to be paid unless Jones just collapses. It's absolutely fair. And I'm betting that's about what KC has offered. |
