Williams at $21M - made a pro bowl Buckner at $21M - 1x 1st team AP, 1x 2nd team AP Now Chris Jones 2x SB champ, 1x 1st team AP, 3x 2nd team AP, DPOTY finalist Two of those 2nd team All-Pros could easily be 1st team. ![]() Just because those dumb shits are one upping each other by $500k a year doesn't mean Chris Jones should. Yeah he's not on Aaron Donald's level, but those other guys aren't on Jones' level. |

What the hell do you mean “ that’s not how things work”? It’s EXACTLY how things work in the NFL and the Rams giving Donald that contract is an outlier. Hell I’d say it’s worse than the reaction people had when the Browns gave Watson that guaranteed contract….has it happened since? NO because that’s not how contracts work in the NFL.
We can all agree that Jones is the best DT in the NFL and he should be the highest paid at his position based on the market and NFL history on how that works is Jones should get $24.5M avg annual salary. Players that are best at there position don’t historically get almost $10M more than the current highest player…..they wait the offseason out, see what everyone else gets paid first and then sign for just a little more than that current highest paid player. |

I think Chris Jones will miss the first pre-season game and maybe the 3rd but Vranch won't blink and Jones is losing money daily so i think he will show up for the third pre-season and play under contract he already has. Chiefs may tag him next year and possibly try to trade him. We need him this year but next year Vroop will make some moves or draft DT

I wish I had just 1/10th of their stupidity... The amount of money these guys make for putting their bodies on the line is as easy to wrap my little brain around as the idea of traveling to the nearest star (other than the sun).

Jones will have to play this season, he really has no other option so this is really a problem for next year. Relax we will have him back before the season starts.

I guess my main concern is him saying his back is hurt or something like that. I mean sure it would NOT help his market for next year, but still have a small fear of that.

He'll turn 30 next offseason. If he doesn't play and play very well this season he won't be offered anything close to what we're likely offering him right now. He'll be looking at offers around $25M/yr.
The Chiefs have most of the leverage here. The Tyreek situation has shown that they won't be forced into making deals they don't want to make. |

I think deep down he loves the Chiefs and he loves his teammates. When it's time to go he'll go. He's been through many training camps already - he knows what it takes to be ready for the season. He's just trying to get his cash. When that is decided (in whatever way, positive or negative) I'm confident he'll still give 100%

Deserves talk is pointless. We know he deserves it but we can't pay it and keep others we want to keep.

Not really. The unforgivable daily $50K fines generally mean that somebody who is under contract will now hold "in". Jones is going to have $1M+ in fines whether an extension is reached or not. Could have the same extension without losing all that money if he was holding in. And he doesn't have a ton of leverage since he'd be forfeiting $23M to sit out the season. I don't understand what he or Bosa are doing, but the days of "hold out, and fines will all be forgiven in the end" are over.

I’m not a fan of letting a pass rusher walk so we can sign an off ball lber and a slot cb
