The DT class is loaded with those types, and it would be nice to preserve him a bit for the postseason.
You don't have to worry about that. The offense is going to be putting up more points next year. The will be many opportunities to rest Kelce and Jones. [Reply]

Kinda mixed feelings. Absolutely love Jones but I’m still wanting to see offensive moves and hanging on to older players always makes me nervous. He is pretty much the face of the D line tho
Hoping he continues to be the amazing player he is

I'm glad we re-signed him, but you may want to check our record when we have played without him , the team held their own ... [Reply]
Defenders inked for at least the next 2-3 seasons:
Tranquill
Jones
Karlaftis
McDuffie
Williams
Watson
Chenal
Cook
Conner
FAU
You can probably add Bolton to that list, as they would surely franchise him after this upcoming season if they haven’t extended him yet.
This draft could be ALL skill position offensive players and I’d be happy if all we came out with is a stud receiver and a good LT on rookie deals. [Reply]

I was in the camp that thought it more likely than not that he was gone.
But I never thought that was a foregone conclusion.
So I'm mildly surprised but not shocked to see the mega third deal contract.
Anything that gets done as far as contracts and FA and drafts is all calculated gambles.
Jones has absolutely wrecked shit and won games, especially in the post season when it matters.
If he is at least good during the regular season and makes an impact in the post season... That can absolutely be worth the 30/year cap hit or whatever.
If for whatever reason he ends up less than that...*
But I'm fine winning in the post season with Mahomes being the leading rusher and the D pitching a shutouts in the fourth quarter.

Shows players the Chiefs will take care of you if you do your part for them.
Chris definitely earned this and I’m happy for him.
The guy literally sat out all of training camp and the first game... in which we lost. He absolutely was not a good soldier. [Reply]
