I'm surprised all the talk is about Jaye Howard and not Allen Bailey. Howard at his contract is an absolute steal. I like Howard more than I like Bailey yet Bailey is signed for longer and more $'s. Bailey's cap hit will balloon to $8M by 2018. Jones will give KC more leverage to negotiate better contracts with Howard and to renegotiate Bailey's $8M hit in 2018.
And no, Jones isn't here to take Poe's job away. He's here to take away snaps from Poe so he's not on the field all the ****ing time. It gives the Chiefs 2 years to groom Jones through rotational work for a few years before making decisions on Howard/Bailey.
I'm pretty sure they're not going to give a guy like Jones who has questions about effort the insane workload Poe gets.
