Chiefs The fate of Chris Jones 2023 edition - Page 125

**TribalElder** · 07-22-2023, 06:08 PM

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.

I can make a pretty solid argument Taylor is a better play for our system than Brown is.

There are GM's that literally think you should never trade for the right to pay someone...I get all it takes is one but it is what it is.

Plus....**** I would like the Chiefs to just steamroll thru the season. I'm talking like scorched earth mother ****ers to the tune of 15-2 or something. We've had to sweat out the SB seasons and playoffs.

I wanted to see a walk thru. And I think with all hands on deck they could do it.

it's relevant if they want to offload him this season

No. It's not. They can trade him right now.

The almost assured way this plays out is...

Chris Jones shows up after the last preseason game, plays out the season and the Chiefs let him go to FA after the season.

up until the trade deadline yes

If he holds out until midseason like he's threatening to wouldn't surprise me if the owners included a provision that those lost wages are factored into the tag number. That would drop it significantly.

**Bwana** · 08-22-2023, 01:11 PM

How much has his cunning plan cost him so far in fines?

Yeah good luck with picking up ‘a better play’ than Jones in FA

That probably won't happen but you know what, you get younger and cheaper and hopefully that keeps the overall team better.

Mecca · 08-22-2023, 01:16 PM

Actually you know how you know this is all bullshit?

If he can "afford" to sit out till week 8...he would lose 1.15 million per game that adds up to what over 9 million? And he'd also lose out on his 1.25 million incentive for getting 10 sacks..

So out of curiosity if he can just flush 10 million dollars why is he haggling with the Chiefs over a number that is probably similar to that?

Oh yea because it's a bullshit threat.

O.city · 08-22-2023, 01:19 PM

That's all well and good but we're what, 2 weeks from opening weekend? He's gonna have to show up sooner than later to be able to play the first couple weeks.

If it's a replay of the Orlando Brown Jr. scenario, the Chiefs end up with a BETTER player for less than what they offered him.

That's how that scenario played out.
