Welll duh!

Yes, we should have drafted a 5th round DT as insurance for a DPOY candidate. Maybe Tank or Turk have a son?

Why? Almost all DTs fall off a cliff after age 30. We'll have gotten 80-90% of Jones good years w/o committing to 2-3 bad years (see Houston and Berry).

Since mahomes took over? 2-0. he simply hasn't missed a lot of games

With Hill and Kelce and defenses playing single high, sure.

If KC's new LT is solid in pass pro. If Toney stays healthy and/or the WR hype at training camp holds, maybe...

Go on…

Because Chris Jones is still one of the best players in the NFL, and THE best at his position. If he walks and we get nothing but a compensatory pick, that is a MAJOR disappointment. Tag and trade at the very least.

And he doesn't get to say "I'll play in 2023 if you promise not to tag." **** that. One year in which he is making like $25M to play or whatever he doesn't get to dictate that.

Jones is headed to KC!! He has been training in Miami during this training camp

Or headed to the dolphins for a 2025 1,and 2026 2, 3,4

SOMEONE GET TO KCI PRONTO

I think you're overestimating what a tag and trade can return. The tag is going to be $32.5M or w/e. He'd probably just be ok with playing on that. And no team is going to trade for him w/o working out a long term deal. And the Chiefs probably won't feel comfortable tagging him at that price w/o a deal in place.

Lee's Summit Best Buy confirmation?!?

Let’s go Chris!! Get this deal done 😍😍

The difference is that sack directly impacted the game. It was a close game, Cincy had the ball with a chance to drive into FG range with less than a minute left. They had already converted one third and 16 on that drive. That sack changed everything and forced the Bengals to punt and the rest is history.

Could KC have stopped them on that third down without the sack? Sure. Would Cincinnati have punted if it was fourth and short? Sure. That sack forced their hand and allowed for a good Moore return and a Mahomes scramble/15 yard RTP.

In no way is that sack and his missed one the year before the same as two years ago that missed sack never should have decided the game. It wouldn't have if not for KC's offensive meltdown.

On Arrowhead Pride they said Jones could be fined 1/18th of his salary (over $1M) for missing a preseason game. Although they didn't really go into detail on how that works, or if the fine is at the discretion of the team. So maybe he's headed back to KC so he doesn't miss the preseason game.
