If he racked up 9 sacks last year, there’s no holdout.

Welcome to business in the NFL. Must be wild for you first time NFL fans in your first off season following teams/players.

That's not ominous.

Tamba probably told him to get his ass in camp, starting Monday.

Been here longer than you peaches. Murder isn’t exactly rare, should we just say it happens often so it’s ok?

LMAO LMAO LMAO

Dan Campbell is siding with CJ:
https://twitter.com/burchie_kid/stat...nes-holdout%2F

nice, Campbell wants his holdout to last past week one...Yeah Chris get your money lol

Thats quite an analogy.

Remember when Chris was trying to get Leveon Bell to sign with KC?

I hope he remembers how poorly that worked out for Leveon by holding out like he did.

1. Leveon held out for the entire regular season

2. Leveon completely fell off as a running back when he came back


Neither of those is going to happen to Chris Jones.

Doesn't sound like Jones showed up today. Thought he might with TC over but maybe he is waiting until the week before, who knows though.

Have you been outside today?

There isn't a ball powder on the planet that can tame this shit.

Yeah it is brutal. Apparently they practiced indoors today but Reid had them turn off the A/C. Dude is hardcore lol

Chris Jones is not acting rationally. It's the most concerning thing about all of this to me. We all assume he'll play the season because he wants his $20M, but with somebody who isn't acting rationally, who can say for sure?

Not much time left before the season starts. If he doesn't show this week he may not play week 1. He's being a damn moron.

Uh if he misses real games he'll do nothing but cost himself tons and tons of money...

All the fines etc would cut his yearly salary and then he would not get a big FA deal either.

Agreed. It would be irrational. Just like holding out and costing yourself millions in fines instead of holding in and getting all your money is irrational.

Yea, I'm not going to predict how he is going to react. But I am with you that at this point, I'm not all-in that he is going to be financially rational.

He's not in danger of starving on the street.

Pride, stubbornness or whatever you want to call it can sometimes win out.

He’s going to play, I do wonder how motivated and the amount of “business decisions” plays/games we see.

His effort will not be the same if he does play.

Doesn’t seem like CJ has a coherent end game strategy with his hold out.

That wouldn't work out well for him and getting the next contract.

Not playing well would be detrimental to him getting more money on the next contract.

Seems unwise.

Especially at his age.

He’d either come off as unmotivated or declining. Neither is a positive when you want another big contract.

Yeah man, this is finally starting to look pretty grim

Dude needs to pull his head out of his fifth point of contact

Honestly us fans should hope Jones sits out till week 11(still think its week 11 with extended season?). He can sit out till week 11 and still come back for a pro-rated season but still count this as his last contract year. Anything past week 11 and its like this year didn't happen and he will still have a year under contract with KC.

More so if he does stay away till week 11 that means he has forfeited about $15M(10 reg season games plus 3 pre-season games and camp missed).

If you take that $15M away from his total of about $29M cap hit this year it means next year he should be able to be tagged for only around $20M.

We have week 10 bye so I could see coming back then and getting in two weeks of practice and ready for week 11 vs Philly.

And YES I still think the teams wins enough over those 10 weeks that we are still a playoff team hahaha.

Exactly the opposite. He gets paid, he got his. If he doesn't it's a contract year and it will be based upon this year.

It's just more drama.

Drama doesn't lead to SB's. So no, he needs to show up and do his job then let this stuff take care of itself.

I don't know how this is going to end, but:

If he holds out, he's a huge piece of shit and I hate him

If he plays, he's a swell guy and I love him

Drama is already there.

I think he'll come back this week. If he doesn't then I think they're gonna put him on reduced snaps early in the season.

Screw him! How much money does he need anyway?

He's still the only player I know who has lost a game with his mouth (Ryan)!!!

Obviously a trade is not ideal, but this is a key year and we're the SB favorite.

Let's say for shits and grins its irrevocably broken and we're at an impasse:

We'd need to trade CJ to 1) an NFC team, 2) who has money to pay him, 3) that is willing to send us a 1 + some other shit.

We'd then need to trade for a serviceable DT to get us through 2023.

Veach could get pretty creative in the '24 draft with a Brockers or a Marvin Harrison Jr. type of move, if we don't go OT or DT.

This is all so very sad. My absolute favorite defensive Chief of all time.

Options in order of likelihood:

1) Jones reports after the Browns PS game.

2) Jones is traded after said game.

3) Holdout continues into the season.

He’s got a touch of the Houston, Hobo Spirit, Honey Badger-itis.

Doesn't need to be NFC. Just get the best haul of picks possible, which probably isn't coming from anybody in the AFC that matters.

Cardinals are #32 in the power rankings and #1 in available cap space, and already have their QB (lol).

I think they would be the dream trade partner, if we go that route.

They’re tanking for a QB.

Meh, he might wait until the end of the week now that the weather is ridiculously hot this week.

Not to be negative, but I don’t see the trade comp being all that great.

The same reasons the Chiefs are hesitant to pay his number are detriments to trading him. Then you ask some team to hand over picks to us and a big contract to an aging DT?

If we trade him, just prepare to be disappointed with the comp.

Figured as such, though they stupidly locked up Murray with a high-dollar, 5-year extension last year.

Their HC is the Eagles former DC, so maybe he could be tempted.... I dunno.

Can you imagine we win the SB and end up with the #1 overall pick?

TRADE HIS ASS. GET THE DRAFT PICKS. 0UR OFFENSE HAS PROVEN IT CAN CARRY US. MEANWHILE WE HAVE A SOLID LB AND DB GROUP

VIRCH CAN OVERHAUL A LINE IN ONE OFFSEASON

They do also have Houstons pick.

I believe they have two 1st rounders as well. Wonder if it could be in the wording that Chiefs get the higher of the two picks.

Dang, Cards might end up with the #1 and #2 picks haha

The Cardinals are tanking.

It would have to be a team with a rookie QB trying to win. Chicago, maybe Seattle.

But it's not gonna happen at this point.

Ok if true we could agree to take the lower of both picks. Houston or them.

Why would the Cardinals want to do that? They're rebuilding, not adding 3rd contract Vets at high costs.

Poster’s MO is stupid trade proposals.

Especially with the Cards.

The only team that would trade for him would be a contender with a need at the position and cap space to pay him.

There just aren’t that many teams in that specific situation.

Yeah, if Jones holds out into the season, he kinda ****s the team.

Doubt Mahomies, Trav, and Andy are gonna be super cool about that.

They’re not going to send us even one of those picks. It’s theirs and the Texans. Very likely they’ll have the first two picks in the draft and take Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr.

There’s a negative probability they’d trade either of those for the right to pay Chris Jones 30mm/yr.

Get this out of your heads.

Lions fit

Would Browns? Thinking they are a playoff team with Watson 100% ready? Put Jones next to Garrett?

Ok Chris. Your extended summer vacation is over. Time to report to the team. (Tomorrow preferably)

Garrett was the most double-teamed DE last year. Put CJ next to him and those two would rape any OL.

Yes. He’s got no real trade value given his contract demands. At this point I make take almost anything and tell him to GTFO. We don’t need any distractions.

The **** is wrong with some of you?

Believe it or not there’s a zone between having no trade value and having the value of a top-5 pick.

You guys are ridiculous…

That shit would be insane.

At this point in the process I think there is a 99.99999% chance we don't pay Chris Jones.

So you are saying there is a chance?

It really would. Basically the 2023 version of Neil Smith and DT. But probably more nasty. Completely unfair.

Fortunately there's almost no chance of it.


But it would be pretty impressive to see every week I'm sure.

Accurate.

Hopefull that twitter post thanking Tamba is a sign he has been workin
Chris be playing

Jones is a perfect fit for Chicago dammit!

How much longer before some real estate agent makes a fortune on CJ’s new stately mansion in KC? I’m tired of waiting. Let’s go!

Even if he gets a new deal I doubt he buys any big real estate in or around KC. He only works here

His agent is a buffoon

Yeah. I think you're probably right.

It was in a different way, but Berry’s negotiations absolutely got this contentious.

Chris Jones is POUTING because they didn't sign Frank Clark... so he's trying to get as much money as he can, IMO.

would love to see more data on NFL holdouts, the outcome, and how the team did

like this was cool https://www.oddsshark.com/nfl/do-nfl-holdouts-work

only RB though

That was an allusion to the old real estate agent joke. Next time I’ll include a Leawood, KS reference. :) (Apologies for the confusion.)
