The fate of Chris Jones 2023 edition

[TribalElder]

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.

Sooo, this is a stupid Mexican Standoff. CJ wants similar A. Donald $$$$ that HE does not deserve. Donald gets $31 mill a year and deservingly so. CJ wants $30 mill and does NOT deserve to be in that conversation.

Multiple defensive tackles have signed massive contract extensions this offseason, including the New York Giants' Dexter Lawrence (25 yrs old) and Washington Commanders' Daron Payne (26 yrs old), who each signed four-year, $90 million extensions. The Tennessee Titans signed Jeffery Simmons (26 yrs old) to a four-year, $94 million deal and the New York Jets signed Quinnen Williams (25 yrs old) to a four-year, $96 million contract. Chris Jones will turn 30 yrs old this season. My point is that Chris Jones is joining the party too late. When he got his contract in 2020, HE was handsomely paid - today the youth above is relishing in TODAY'S market - Chris Jones is out of the 25/26 year old range asking for handsome funds. We shall see. His demands would CRUSH our salary cap like Eric Berry and Frank Clark. For me? franchise his ass for the next 2 seasons (2024 - 2025) or simply let him walk at the end of this season - He will play what 8 possibly 12 games?

Jones might hold out? Damn that sucks. Oh well, Mahomes.

Brokie Croyle was suppose to be Mahomes before Mahomes

I do.

God I love Mahomes.

You’re so right. Mahomes, Reid, Kelce, Veach, the Clarks…. I hate this shit but it’s crazy to think that despite losing a top 5 defensive player in the league for half a season, we still feel like we have the upper hand in the conference. We’ll never be thus spoiled again! Cheers bredda!!

[Dante84]

You guys, if we can just sign Ty Law or Patrick Surtain or Darrelle Revis, our defense will be unstoppable!!!

Does anyone think one of these teams would trade their 25/26 year old stud DT straight up for Jones? If not shouldn’t this tell us something about paying Jones $30+ million?

CJ wont turn 30 this season. Might be too expensive to tag and that kind of hampers moves that the Chiefs may want to make. But I agree with your take.

[Chris Meck]

This blows.

Very disappointing.

Is Wharton good to go? We don't really have any other 3techs.

Franchise tag him twice? **** no. Let him go in 24 or trade him in October this year.
He is unhappy as hell so the better decision is to get him off the roster and move on. Why drag it out? It's over. Shit teams hang on and drag shit out and we don't have to.

Yeah, I was hoping this would resolve itself, but I don't think that's going to happen. Whether he's just that greedy or getting bad advice from his vile **** of an agent, it doesn't really matter now.

Does anyone know who his agent is? Because i feel this is what social media trolling/dragging was made for. What a f***ing dolt. Just completely idiotic to think he's getting more for himself and CJ doing this.

I don't think they think that anymore. Honestly, I'm not sure he wants to be here anymore.

Why? Who knows but it seems like it is getting personal and doesn't have much to do w money.

No idea, but I'm sure it doesn't matter. They live for this shit and only care about lining their own pockets. Trying to shame one on social media would be like bitching at the devil because the flames in hell are too hot.

[Simply Red]

I'm pretty much yell at clouds man status, I'm cool if this dude just gets the **** out, or stays (if he'd rather.)

It’s been said that he was really pissed that they let Frank Clark go. Not sure if that plays into this at all. Pretty pathetic if he can’t understand a simple business decision.
