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.

Is 97.3 your guess for that?

Either you are black and have some deep seated hatred for white people or you are a self loathing white person that uses the race card when you have a horrible take and can't defend it.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT in this thread!

Jones shared a video of him kissing his daughter. The wood in the background looked like the shitty stuff in the Chiefs outdated facility, but that's pure speculation.

The song he chose for the background was Pharrell's "Just a cloud away" which is all about the bad times being over.

Conspiracy theorists, go wild.

We have another CJ update thread though and everyone seems pretty willing to pile on.

So, if ya'll want us to do something, give me a thumbs up... if not, abstain or thumbs down.

(I personally don't really care given the 2nd thread exists and there's really nothing else to talk about or else I'd just do it. ... but it has gotten a bit extreme)

Let it ride, man. A nice good, classic pile on right before the start of the season is like a cleanse to CP's soul.

Jettio has offered himself up as the sacrifice. Lets exorcise these demons one last time before the season begins.

We were so preoccupied with getting to 3k posts, we didn't stop to think if we should.

You can't have the Watts and the Bosas always getting all they ask for with no rings and expect that not to be questioned when comparable players are told to get lost.

Now Chris Jones is seeking an extension that begins when he's 30 years old.

Citing an extension that was signed by a player who was 25 when he signed it isn't relevant.

And by the way, through his age 29 season JJ Watt earned $72.5 million and made his 5th NFL First Team All Pro selection to go along 3 DPOY awards. 2 years later he had 5 sacks in 16 games and 4 years later he'd shifted positions and shifted roles on his way out of the league entirely. Age. Matters.

Meanwhile poor abused and mistreated fieldhand Chris Jones could play under his existing contract and despite having only one 1st team nod and only one time receiving VOTES for DPOY he will make $87 million through age 29.

Yeah - JJ Watt always getting what he wants because he's white and Chris Jones is just constantly being mistreated. Pay no attention to that 2nd highest base salary in the league for defensive players he's turning his nose up at.

Your arguments suck badly.

You think there's a chance in hell he's signing the franchise tender? Of course not. And that's probably why the other $10 million in impact on his franchise figure next year isn't included in his calculus. He has ZERO intention of signing that tender.

He's done here. He'll play out the season, probably half-assed and eventually hurt, then he'll get moved. Because he's taken steps at this point to ensure that coming back at $25 million or so is non-tenable for him. And the Chiefs have drawn their line in the sand.

I think this saga is mostly over at this point. Now it's all over but the crying.

Hmm...,

You nailed it.

At a point, there's just not a shitload you can do apart from trading every damn guy you have with only a year on his contract.

I mean hell, what if PM retires? Should we trade him now just to be safe?

No - these guys don't get paid to predict irrational.

This is on Jones and Katz.

Hmm, so Nick Bosa and TJ Watt are exempted from your "trade every damn guy you have with only a year on his contract" policy?

You say cool for TJ Watt to "hold in" for the deal he wants and for Nick Bosa to hold out for whatever number is finally agreed to, but shit on Chris Jones.

[mr. tegu]

How many times is this moron going to ignore that when Jones was in Bosa’s current position he got a top of the market deal without having it need to go this far into the season?

JFC, you have to be the dumbest mother****er alive. Did TJ Watt or Nick Bosa hold out when they had a 20 million base salary to play for? They were on their rookie deals.

Just do the world a ****ing favor and go jump off of a bridge.

Are you completely incapable of reading context? My point to O.City was that you CAN'T trade everyone with a year left on the deal, sweetie. Or did you believe I was suggesting we actually trade Patrick Mahomes?

As to the rest Nick Bosa and TJ Watt are/were on rookie deals and weren't under contract with a $28 million cap hold and the 2nd highest base salary in the game when they 'held in'. And I've already discussed the merits of their respective 'demands' vs. Jones in previous posts - both in terms of age, productivity and probabilities going forward. Several times and in a myriad of different iterations.

If you're gonna go through my posts looking for gotchyas, can you actually - I dunno - read them?
