So let's try to figure out the range the Chiefs are offering. We have strong reason to believe Jones is asking $30M per year since someone floated that to the media a week or two ago and no one in the Jones camp complained.
If the Chiefs were offering $28-29M, I feel like the deal would be done by now. We have to assume the Chiefs are offering more than Quinnen Williams' $24M. I feel like even $25M would be a bit of an insult, and Jones camp would be complaining. So it seems to me the Chiefs are offering $26-27M, probably closer to $27M.
Quinnen got 4 years, but he is 25 years old. Maybe the Chiefs are holding firm on 3 years with an out and that's a big sticking point.
So right now it's probably something like Jones demanding $30M over 4 years, and the Chiefs offering $27M over 3 years with an out. If they Chiefs are offering any lower than that, I don't think they're serious about signing him.
