How many good years does Jones have left, including this year? 2-3? So you get one of those great years, you miss 1-2 really good years, and you don't have to pay for the decline years like the Rams are doing now with Donald. Or how the Chiefs did with Houston and Berry.
As far as trading him, how much is a peak year of Jones worth to the Chiefs? A 4th rounder? No way. A 1st rounder? Probably. But I don't think any team is going to offer a first rounder for Jones, knowing they also are going to have to give him a massive contract that will probably include paying for decline/injury years. So now we get into the 2nd-3rd rounder murky territory.
With Jones the Chiefs are favorites to win the Super Bowl. W/o him I'm not so sure. I'd want a serious haul to give that up. Like maybe a real player that can at least somewhat fill the gaping void losing him would leave in our line. Start thinking about our interior D-line w/o Jones. It's not pretty.
I don't have an issue with the Chiefs running it one more time with Jones to try to get another SB, then rebuild the interior D-line next year. It's too late to do it this year.
