The #Chiefs and All-Pro DT Chris Jones have a blockbuster deal to keep him in KC, per his agents @KatzBrosSports. The top free agent is off the market and a huge move for the champs. �� pic.twitter.com/BHmM49TCtt
Chiefs and five-time Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones reached agreement on a record 5-year deal that includes $95 million guaranteed and allows KC to keep its best defender before free agency begins, per his agents, @KatzBrosSports.
We don’t need Jones to get sacks, he does so much stuff that you can’t count. Batted passes, pressures, double team rates. Hes legit a first ballot hall of famer [Reply]
Paying home grown talent is way to go. Much rather see them give a bag to a guy like Jones than over pay a mercenary. The only one that didn't get good ROI in recent memory is the Berry contract. On the flip side it's seems it's the outside guys that didn't live up to the contact. [Reply]
The man fucking cried before the last home games and used “our last time playing together here” motivation for the defense.
I have zero concerns about his motivation and he’s really grown into a big time leader on the defense over the last 2 years. These guys go all the way for CJ95. [Reply]

The Berry and Houston contracts killed us for a long time, coupled with the Matt Cassel nonsense. [Reply]

That’s one way to go about building a team and is very analytics-driven.
But it ignores that picks aren’t guarantees and stars are stars…
Yup. He advocates to trade down almost every year.
Which is fine, when you trade down and still take Chris Jones. But it also makes you miss out on Trent McDuffie.
Veach seems to have found a nice balance between acquiring picks and retaining talent. Also, seems like Veach acknowledges that he’s much more likely to replace Sneed than Jones. We know his record with DBs. [Reply]

I'm hoping we get a good WR in free agency and make the OL our first priority in the draft, Would love a double TE set as well. Guess you can't have everything [Reply]

I mean, getting picks is great. But sometimes you need to get difference-making talent. At some point, having a deep roster of good players can be trumped by a roster with a few superstars. [Reply]
