Normally players get older they get less money. Jones wants more money.

Having Frank Clark account for $7.5m on our cap this year really ****ing sucks. If only....nevermind.

Elite players want elite player money. What the hell are you talking about?

Let him play it out this year, win a SB and trade him for assets to give yourself flexibility in the future.

Or

Give him a deal now that has a clean out after 3 years to protect yourself.

Those are the best options IMO

His contract demands would be met by very few teams in the league. It's almost as if these players expect a hometown *premium*.

Okay. Still seems like it could be worked around. Find some way to extend essential players where the cap hits are down the road a bit, and then when we run out of tags for Jones we'll have a mammoth influx of cap space become available to accommodate those other needs. Figure it out, Vrach!

When a player has won 2 rings all that is left is money, most guys want the bag anyway, he has nothing else to pursue and thinks the team needs him.

And his inability to sack Burrow the year before cost us a Super Bowl appearance.

Somewhere, diphag9 is trembling with rage, and starting a thread on why Brett Veach is an idiot that doesn't understand the cap is going to increase, and why he should make Jones highest paid d tackle in football, followed by wall of text describing the method that nobody reads.

The inability for the offense to score anything more than 1 field goal in the second half is more to blame on that loss.

That played a role, but that definitely was not the key reason why we didn't make the SB.

To be fair,

Chris Jones has been a regular-season monster for us. In the playoffs there isn't much production. (He did have a great year last year in AFC champ game)

They clearly and obviously didn't think they were this far apart.

I agree. Just as him getting the sack doesn’t equal Chiefs most likely not getting to the Super Bowl last season.
