Hope he doesn't lose his hunger and just give up, now that he has the big contract. Sure would be nice if he continued to play like he did when he was incentive loaded.

That's a lot of scratch, keep the fire going Chris.

Completely not his personality to do that.

The thing I noticed is you posting shit like “he’s gone” over and over in threads and offering nothing to go with it. Just negative shit posting for no reason.

And the risk is massive but there's risk with someone coming in on a 2nd deal as well (scheme fit, motivation, character/culture, etc...) so it just is what it is.

Hope it works out. I wouldn't have offered that deal but in the end they know more than I do so I guess I'll defer to the teams judgment. It's hard not to given recent results.

This.

In Burt I trust.

Basically my take too.

If Cullen is around for the duration of Jones’ contract, it’s a guarantee the fire wont go out. CJ has a deep well of intrinsic motivation, but if it ever wavers, Cullen primes the pumps in a hurry.

i think there was a conglemeration of factors that this made since this year. We have a legit chance at a 3peat, injuries and lack of talent on the DL. He’s like a coach out there now.

You saw the mic’s up. Players needed to be talked to about doing the right thing. Jones had them all in a circle already telling them what Spags was coming over to tell them. I got this coach and Spags turns around and leaves. That has so much value. Spags as a coach telling them something is one thing. But, Jones who they admire and respect telling them something is a whole different level.

The whole damn team ran over to him when he got the sack and the million bucks.

It’s a lot longer shot to win the 3 peat if Jones isn’t on the team. In the salary cap era, who know if it will ever be done. If we pull ia 3 pest off, it’ll out live all of us.

that’s the risk for sure. 30+ and getting the bag. Do they lose that upper level passion for the game?

The highest paid C in the league makes $13.5 million APY. Justin Reid is making more this year.

Cheapest position on the field outside of RB and now S. No reason to not get this done

I dunno he's definitely been known to take a LOT of plays off.
Overall, I'm happy to have him back, but let's be real here.

Nah. Draft a 3rd round center next year. Call it a day. Save 11.5 mil per. Centers don't matter much in our system compared to other teams.

Or if Jason Kelce wants to come play on the vet min, by all means. Don't know how retirement shit works though.

I am not sure he comes out of retirement for league min. Jason Kelce signed a 1 year, $14,250,000 contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, including a $10,335,000 signing bonus, $14,250,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $14,250,000. In 2024, Kelce will earn a base salary of $1,500,000, while carrying a cap hit of $10,178,000 and a dead cap value of $25,116,000.

Eh - that's not what I've seen.

I saw a guy who played like his hair was on fire in the last game of the season to get that bonus. I saw a guy who had historically bad run defense through the first 3 quarters last season because there were no incentives to be earned via run defense.

I wouldn't say it's likely - but coin flip odds don't see wholly unreasonable. Maybe he keep driving for the 3-peat but if things go bad at some point, I'm not sure I have a ton of faith in him keeping his head down and leading that DL room.

When has he ever done that?
