My gut tells me he will be traded before the deadline, for less than what we think he's worth.
When it happens we need to appreciate what we get for him, and what he's done for this team. |

He could be traded today or he could be traded in the offseason, but trading him at the deadline - unless Mahomes is out for the season - seems crazy to me.

Jones needs to fire his dumbass agents. He's pushing 30 and already losing millions on this holdout. Millions he is likely not going to make up in his next contract. KC can legit tell him to sit & spin for two weeks ($2.2M right there) after he joins the team, and not pay him on his existing contract. After that, they can franchise tag him....again. He still won't be making Aaron Donald money. He is leaving money on the table because of? Ego? Nah, his agents have not represented their client well at all.

That's why I said if he came in by Week 8, which is when he said he would report by (to accrue his season) then he could be fresh for the playoffs. (i.e. less wear and tear from a normal full NFL season) No, he would not be 'fresh' and in football shape right away at Week 8. But it's reasonable to think he would be come playoff time (2 months later) |

They'll treat those first 3 weeks like training camp and pre-season for him and then try and have him ready to go come Week 11 so he could be in 'football shape' by time he hits the field. |

You have 2022 DPOY Nick Bosa not reporting seeking an extension on his rookie deal. and you have 2022 DPOY finalist Chris Jones not reporting seeking an extension on his second contract. Seems likely that both situations may resolve the same way.

Hell, that's not as bad as I thought it might be.
We've added FAU, Tranquill, eventually Omenihu and the rookies have gained a year of experience. Could the EPA be in the 22-24 range without Jones based on slight improvements and additions over last year's squad? Y'know...that's not that unlikely. This team can win a championship at/near merely below average on defense. ![]() The real issue as I see it is that Jones comes off the field in run situations where the EPA/Play is naturally lower anyway. So there may be some static in the numbers that makes them appear rosier than they are.
