The fate of Chris Jones 2023 edition

[TribalElder]

Appears the Chiefs and Chris Jones are at the beginning of a contract dispute



Speculation has been that the two sides are "far apart" on a deal

So Chiefs Planet.... how do we think this will play out (poll coming)

Will the Chiefs pay up and meet Chris Jones demands? If so, how much will it end up costing?

Will the Chiefs not be able to meet Chris Jones demands and end up trading him? If so, what kind of haul can we expect?

I've really loved watching Chris Jones wreck shit for the Chiefs, it always sucks when the business side of the NFL forces teams into tough decisions.

We should trade him straight up for Michael Carter.

My mother is a full-blown narcissist who has never thought about anyone but herself for a moment of her life. Even my dad’s death earlier this year is all about her. She has told me multiple times that her grief is more than my grief and she doesn’t seem to understand why I haven’t reorganized my life to make it about her instead of my wife and young children.

I’m nothing like her. Most kids who escape a parent with toxic traits strive to be their exact opposite. I sure as **** do.

I think you are both correct. I have seen situations like yours many times. And that is a good thing.

But I've also seen children go down the same exact path as their toxic parent(s). And often times, it's as if they don't even realize that they've turned into their POS parent.

Wait, we have the same mom? Weird.

Mine couches her narcissism in a thin veneer of selflessness.

I’m agreeing with you, for the record.

Oh you are record? Apologies I had no idea. I guess what’s unfortunate though is being on record with that is worthless because we have no idea what’s going on here with his contract to determine it’s selfish or ill advised. And what little we can hypothesize is way short of comparing his personality to a self destructive narcissist.

You swung and missed. Better luck next time.

You and I clearly view his holdout differently.

Apples and trees.

I met his Mom, Dad and the agent in his second year on a road trip to ATL to watch the Chiefs play. Stayed at the same hotel.

Mom was the salt of the earth. Talked to us for about 30 minutes while they waited for their ride to the stadium. Told us about being poor. The Dad was a mess. He had on a great suit but he talked like a gangster, bragged about everything. What Mom saw in the guy, I'll never know.

Wait what? We know exactly what’s going on with his contract, he’s refusing to honor it. Period.

Jones will be at Arrowhead tomorrow*

* Or someday after that

Possibly since today was the last day in St Joe

You are just creating nonsense out of nowhere. So yeah definitely different. The only thing we know is he wants a new deal. We don’t know how much, years, what’s been offered, etc. so making the comparison you made is ridiculous. The only thing you can even approach is to suggest he might be being selfish, but even that is basically impossible to gage without important information. Your comparison to saying he is like his dad in this is absurd.

Sorry I (slightly) insulted your boo, boo.

It was a dumb comparison. The time to walk away (after you failed at imagining you found insight into this holdout) was three posts ago.

Probably had something to do with CJ’s combine 40.
