The full Chris Jones deal with the #Chiefs, per source: He gets 5-years for $158.75M. That’s an NFL DT record of $31.75M per year average.

He gets $60.2M fully-guaranteed over the first two years and $95.3M practically guaranteed over the first three years.

All in all we're looking shockingly good if Sneed gets traded tomorrow morning.

For the last ****ing time…. Anyone who mentions cutting Reid again needs to be kicked off CP forever. If anything we need to extend him not cut him

If we cut Justin Reid would you kill yourself ASAP?

Because this is one of the dumbest comments people say on CP… let’s cut our leader in the DB room. Let’s cut a safety who brings the physicality to the defense. Who Spags trust out there. Justin Reid hate will not be tolerated anymore

Nah, McDuffie is the All-Pro. Reid is the veteran. With Connor, Cook, and a bunch of safeties available we wouldn't miss him. But I do like him and want him to stay which is what I said.

Why are you so whiny again?

Which would be a good problem to have cause him getting restructured would mean things are going well on this current deal but

I don't know.

Didn't Frank Clark get restructured/extended even after it was clear he wasn't producing anywhere close to his cap hit?

Mcduffie may be an all pro but doesn’t mean he’s the leader in the DB room. He’s only 2 years in. Reid is a Vet and Spags has full trust in him

If we get some form a veteran LT and a moderate WR, we’re in terrific shape for the draft.

The draft can realistically go 70-30 offense-defense without needing to reach for a glaring need.

How will this affect Bolton? Also do you mean go ahead and get a WR before the draft because that’s what I’d like to see happen. I know we can pick some really good players this year but a lot of times Andy won’t play rookies unless he has to (Rice)

Bolton is getting paid. Spags loves him and I wouldn't be shocked if the man's mentioned twice in Spag's will.

With how good Veach has been drafting in the middle and later rounds they can afford to pay a number of studs. You can have a god at each level of defense because you've drafted cheap studs at CB and LB. Mahomes has reached the level where he scored enough points to win vs. a top 5 D in the SB with the most scrub set of WR's I've ever watched in a SB. I don't think the NFL can produce a defense in this era that can prevent Mahomes from winning.

Out of 95 safeties PFF graded this year the KC safeties came in ranked...

Connor-11th
Cook- 57th
Reid- 79th

-Justin Reid makes $12 million while the other two are on cheap rookie deals.


Justin Reid is however the sweetest of sweeties and Spags/DB's would be lost without him. That by itself is worth half the money Reid makes. People who entertain the notion of cutting Reid to maybe sign a LT or something are just plain silly.

In fact I think Justin Reid would be fine at LT. Spags believes in him and that's all that matters. You don't cut sweeties like Justin Reid!

Reid is very handsome too! It doesn't get talked about enough. Mahomes has a Dad bod now and the DB's need something to look at.

I think it seems that way because we only ever resign the best home grown talent these days. While big FA signings can tend to be a bit more of a desperation move.

Bit different.

I'm a fan of Reid but ok this was funny.

They've become my barometer for how good a move is. If they're apoplectic, I don't really need to read any further.

The theme I saw as that KC is three steps ahead of every other team in the NFL when it comes to salary cap and personnel.

And for the record, their tears are delicious.

I don't want Reid cut but get control of yourself.

I think it's more about PFF grades being laughably bad and non-credible.

We'll see how the team feels about Reid ... if it extends him, clearly the team has the opposite view as PFF.

I was kinda surprised at how much we agreed to with Jones...then I realised the Broncos are paying Wilson more to play for another team and having to bin their best players. You love to see it.
