You've asked Jones to continue to improve, be a leader, and step up his play in the post season. He did. All of it. He's playing the best ball of his career at a position that gives your defense a HUGE advantage. Mahomes and Jones are the only two players on this team I'd argue you need to pay. If they ask it - pay it. Jones is not asking to equal or top Donald. You've got Mahomes and Kelcee below market value and have the ability to get Jones below market value. Paye d'yat mahn hee's mahn-ee...

I do think that you need Chris Jones.
My DL philosophy, however, is similar to my WR philosophy. I think having 5-7 B+ to C+ players is just as good as having 1 A+++ player. Chiefs proved that last year at WR, although they have a literal cheat code at QB. No such advantage exists for the DL. Chris Jones is an A+++ talent, but I think it would be better to have 5-7 B-level players. That's harder to assemble than just having a stud, but I think it puts more pressure on offenses, because otherwise you're just banking on Jones being Superman every week and if he doesn't, you're cooked. The problem at this point, and why this all should have been settled back in March, is that the Chiefs, right now, simply don't have 5-7 B-level players. Their current starting tackles are Derrick Nnadi and Daniel Wise. That is absolutely brutal. The DE position has a ton of potential and I love the talent there, but it's going to take a season to develop. So now the Chiefs find themselves trapped. The Hill contract negotiations were instructive: let Hill go and maybe take a step back for a season (lol didn't happen), or pay him his ask, and you take a step back for several seasons. The difference is that Hill was traded in the Spring. We're one day out from preseason at this point and the Chiefs have no options. |

We are maxed out on the cap. We spent the extra money that Mahomes and Kelce gave up. If the numbers above are true, they have no reason to be pissed off at the Chiefs.

I am glad Jones is putting out vague tweets instead of spilling his guts and creating an ugly situation like many do.
