There is a definite "Chris Jones is as important to the team as Patrick Mahomes is" crowd.
It's laughably stupid, but it is out there being said. So that camp believes that we wouldn't have won the Superbowl without Chris last year as the defense surrendered 35 points and registered one sack by the guy who plays for the Saints now, and go on to say that we cannot win the superbowl this year or any other year without Jones, despite having an undefeated record in games he has missed, including the 24-0 playoff comeback against Houston the CJ95 enjoyed in his street clothes.
Chris, like Tyreek before him, is a luxury we simply cant pay the asking price on. The sky was falling when Hill left and in a rebuild year we won it all.
You'll see a similar result if and when Jones is moved as well.
