Ideally we trade him to Buffalo or Cincinnatti so he can disappear in the playoffs for them.

Makes our road to the SB easier, and we save a metric ****ton of cash. Pat can sidearm sling off platform to avoid the dreaded Chris Jones batted ball at the line, and we'll use Noah Gray and Jody Fortson to block him into next season for Pacheco.

Sign Yannick and pair him up with Jones.

That d-line is sick and vastly improves our defense.

Sign a veteran and proven RT

Give up some picks and move up and draft an LT.

This should be our offseason.

There is where I'd be.

I just don't think anyone is giving up a 1 and a 2 for a soon-to-be 29yr old DT who wants to be paid approaching 30mm/yr.

The over reaction to a defensive tackle not getting sacks...especially when he's double teamed constantly, is ridiculous. But I do wonder if our line would be better with two good ends instead.

Nah.

It's up there, but

QB


OT=Pass Rusher

The only teams that would do it are teams with a rookie contract QB and on the cusp of a Super Bowl. A team that can overpay a bit to go all in.

Something that can be fixed by drafting MORE young defensive players, not fewer.


This is the problem, though. If your whole defense is one player, and that player can be eliminated by a double team, then the solution is not to keep investing in that equation. It's not that Chris Jones sucks, it's that he can be taken out of the game.

Chris Jones is having his absolute best year as a pro. He's also pushing 30. That is 100%, Grade A prime trade bait.

Hmm, out of all the DTs that have been drafted in the last 7 years, which is a bunch, there is not one that is on the same level as Jones, and other than Donald 2 years prior to Jones being drafted there isn't one. Drafting more defensive linemen will not replace what Jones delivers.

And guess who leads KC in sacks.

No. No player is untouchable except for Mahomes. The chiefs should absolutely explore the possibility of a trade.

Debating Kelce being untouchable or not is an irrelevant question. He's always been 100% reasonable with his ask.

I’d do this. Also sign a guy like Arden Key or Charles Omenihu to fill in why Turk is healing from his ACL.

Also sign a vet rusher again like Dunlap or Ingram to rotate

imagine wanting to trade our beast DT because he didn't get a sack against the bengals. There's a good chance we'll never find another defensive tackle that could do half of what Jones has done for the rest of our lives. Unless some team is willing to really over pay.

It's the fodder of the same reeruns who say "ballgame" in the first half and "just blow it up" after a loss.

These are the sort who don't think Jones is affecting the game unless he records a sack every week

Yes. Yes we can. Never should have been mentioned in the first place. Shit, man. I do believe you'd get your ass kicked if you said some shit like that. /Lawrence the cool neighbor
