Are you seriously this dense?
Their SB odds didn’t change when they signed a guy to a long-term deal who was already expected to be on their team that year.
Are you on drugs or something with these takes?
Can the Chiefs win a SB without Chris Jones because they have Mahomes? Yes.
Is it as easy to just say we’ll spend the money elsewhere and replace Jones and have the same odds of winning the SB? No. Because he’s a known entity who generates elite production. Yeah, maybe Veach can replace him with youth and spend the money elsewhere and we wind up a better holistic team. Or, maybe they use the CJ money to sign someone like Frank Clark who dramatically underperforms his contract and that sets us back a few years.
No one is saying we’re doomed if we lose Chris Jones. But if they were forced to trade him right now to the Bears for picks in next year’s draft, yeah, I think it’s safe to say our SB odds would fall quite a bit.
