Chris Jones - Making Him the Highest Paid Defender in the League (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=329758)

Chris Jones is going to be the new Alex Gordon.

I’m with most that trust BV to make the right decision.

I just hope he either:

Signs him to a deal that doesn’t hamstring the team going forward

Or

Gets fair compensation in a trade.

I think that’s where most are at. I’m glad I’m not the one making the decision. Veach with draft capital is exciting, though.

That 2000-2010 Colts squad had HOFers in QB (Manning), RB (James), WRs (Harrison, possibly Wayne) a great TE (Clark) and one of the best centers of his era (Saturday). I was at the no punt game front and center that offense was fricken unreal.

Trade Jones for a 1st and a 2nd who knows maybe we draft Mahomes' Marvin Harrison/Reggie Wayne in Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs III and his Edgerrin James in Swift, Dobbins, Taylor.

Jones of course may very well go on to have a HOF career and the draft picks we got for him may very well be busts. Just my opinion but you pair first round skill players with Mahomes they're not gonna be busts. James, Harrison, Wayne, Clark all first round picks for Manning.

Do you want to diversify your risk or does Veach think Jones is an all pro caliber player for the next 5-6 years? Time will tell. Good situation to be in.

Yeah and for all that offensive talent they only won one SB and that was because they finally put together a somewhat respectable defense.

Fair point. Aaron Rodgers also only won one SB because they never surrounded him with weapons.

I’ve no idea what the correct way to go on jones is. As others have posted trust in Veach . We have seen that you can have the best offense in the league and if you don’t have a damn good defense to go with it you ain’t winning shit.

If people are being honest...Mahomes won the SB because Jones batted down some potential first downs in the 4th quarter...

Jones also caused the initial pressure that led to a Garoppolo INT.

And give credit to Dee ford not being a CHIEF!

I kinda doubt the next NFC SB QB is Jimmy G

Chris Jones is not the best defensive player in the league. He's pretty one dimensional. He is just lucky that his one dimension is really important.

He's not even the best defender on the Chiefs. He might be 3rd.

Mathieu had 2 TD saving tackles, Suggs read a screen and saved a likely screen TD, Fisher had the key block on the 3rd and 15 conversion driving Bosa out of the play, Pennel had the hit the caused the INT, Clark had a key pressure and sack to end the 49ers offense on 4th down.

You can say this shit about several players dude.

400m dollars on 3 players?

200m on Mahomes
100m on Clark
100m on Jones

I don't think we can afford to do that.

Can the Chiefs make CJ the highest paid defender in the league? They can.

Should they? Absolutely not.

IF that is what he and his agent are wanting, goodbye Chris. Love you as a player and appreciate the last 4 years, but can’t sacrifice other areas of the Team just to support your bloated contract. Only Mahomes gets that luxury.

Hope Veach gets a nice draft haul for him in a trade. Hopefully to the NFC somewhere.

No one is claiming that
