If a deal isn't agreed upon by tomorrow, he's going to play most likely. [Reply]
The Vegas handicapper guy from yesterday saying Chiefs offered a 1 and a 5 yesterday, Jags rejected, Eagles got in the mix, Jags upped price, Chiefs still trying this morning. [Reply]

And I'm the opposite, I'd use them both to win this year but after that I'd weigh what I could do money wise if I have to get rid of one I'm keeping the CB, using my tag and trading Jones to recoup the picks I gave up. [Reply]

I would rather have the dominant DL, but I think once they did the Clark deal, the Jones extension went away. [Reply]

I think that was smart for most of the history of the NFL, I don't anymore.
As teams have gone to this throw the ball in 2 seconds type of offense, I'd rather have an elite secondary and then fill my front 7 with fast LB's and a big DL that can defend the run and get decent pressure. [Reply]
I’m with Mecca on this one. With the way the game has evolved, you can somewhat neutralize a great DL with quick passes and short drops.
Add a great CB, suddenly you can take away some of those quick passes. Now the other team has to hold the ball longer to run more complicated routes. Now your DL and blitzes have more time to get home.
Great CBs are a priority over a DT unless they’re a true monster like Donald.
Jones is a good player but not a great one. Get what you can get this year, tag him, trade him to a 34 team. Extend Ramsey.
^ assuming you can’t find a way to make it all work under the cap. You also could probably keep both and cut/trade Watkins. [Reply]
Guys I was unable to find a Jalen Ramsey in Florida - so I was thinking his name may be Jerry and found one! He's been messaged on FB asking him to come to KANSAS CITY CHIEFS!

If true, the Chiefs are prepared to give him at least $50 million. Interpreting that would seem that they value Ramsey over Jones in their defense. No way Jones gets paid.
Why not go to a 4? It's a Super Bowl or bust year. How many 4's even contribute in a significant way? [Reply]

Perhaps it is best to move on from Jones but I don't see a cancer like Ramsey has become being good for the team. And keep in mind I was a big fan of his coming out but he's nearly reached Peters' levels of dip-shittery... [Reply]
"With the addition of Jalen Ramsey, the Chiefs would become the prohibited favorites. Get it on tape. Take a picture of it, record it, put it in the archives. You heard it here first: ‘Extra, Extra read all about it’ Kansas City is going to the Super Bowl.” — @ShannonSharpepic.twitter.com/QR1MTepJS2
