I'd like to keep Jones, but it probably isn't worth 30+ mil/year. Everyone freaked about life after Tyreek Hill, and the offense got MORE efficient without him. Losing one player, even a really good one, isn't going to cripple this team.
I heard Orlovsky claim that the Chiefs will miss the playoffs if they don't have Jones for the first 7 weeks. What a load of crap.
KC's 5-2 in games in which Jones didn't play (not including the Matt Moore loss to Green Bay), with several impressive wins. I'm pretty sure they could survive less than half a season w/out him if it came to it.
I'm also confident that Veach can field a solid DL in '24, with or without Jones. If he has to attack it like he attacked the OL two years ago, so be it.
