I'm not trying to be DD here. But yeah, the Chiefs needed CJ to play well last year and got thru the playoffs and SB.
I don't think it's groundbreaking to say the Chiefs would be worse without one of the 10 best football players currently in the league. |

I hear you. But I also think they'll (Chiefs) be better with Mahomes on 2 good feet.

The Chiefs had 2 guys outside of Chris Jones on the DL capable of getting 7 or more sacks: Mike Danna and George Karlaftis.
I think Omenihu is another one and FAU will get at least 5. So this year instead of 2 it's 3, maybe 4 depending on how FAU adjusts to the pro game. Say what you want but last years DL did not have good depth. Frank was...Frank, Karlaftis was a rookie figuring shit out and Dunlap was a nice reserve role player but not really an impact guy.

If you take Jones away from that group, it's gonna hurt those guys as well.

I'm not even against potentially trading him. History shows 3rd contracts for defensive guys can be dicey.
It's the timing. It's to late to do it this year for multiple reasons. Look at the Raiders and Khalil Mack a few years ago. You don't know for sure what you're even getting back. |

They could win the SB without him, the offense would have to continue to be elite and you're talking about Omenihu playing a lot of DT and trying to salvage at late DT sign like Shelby Harris.

You'd need the 2018 offense to pull that off.

This defense even without Jones is better than that defense.
The Chiefs are a potential top 10 defense this year, 1 player would not drop them to like 28th, especially if Gervon Dexter came back because there's a lot of upside there. |

Yes, rookie 2nd round DT's typically really take off as rookies.

They could get thru the year, probably win the west and make the playoffs.
They aren't gonna go thru the playoffs with no Jones against who they'll have to beat with the current DL they'd have without him. |

I at first thought this was just a way of getting more Chiefs stories in the media but now I think it is a serious difference between what Chiefs can pay and what Chris Jones wants.
New contract or not, Chris Jones will play this year. He will never make up that $19M money if he sits out the season. |

You're overrating Jones a bit as a player...the only player not being here that would ruin us is Mahomes.
