Exactly why Veach could try to trade Jones as well. Maybe a team like the Cards with the cap space to pay Jones would rather have a guaranteed elite vet to anchor that new defense and are willing to give up that cap flexibility that they don't really need plus the risk of a rookie busting.
Cards get:
Jones
MVS
#31
4th round pick
Chiefs get:
#3 pick
Hopkins
I'd rather keep Jones and pay him BUT Veach has history of not making players the highest paid at their position, Hill and OBJ, I think Veach could look at Jones the same depending on contract talks.
