Post here. Pertinent free agent signings can still have their own thread. Anyone who replies with a Q, because something is buried in this thread should blah blah AIDS tree. [Reply]

I only buy into that so much but it'd suck to lose him for nothing.
"agent-take". They are all on the same page on what they want...so of course he's going to frame it like the Chiefs are boxed in. They are not. [Reply]

A slight plot twist: The #Lions are having conversations with teams about trading Kennard. He’ll be on the move, but it could be in a trade. https://t.co/OTyg8rZkuG
Per source, the #Jaguars have applied a 2nd-round RFA tender to WR Keelan Cole, who has posted 104 career receptions for 1,600 yards and 7 TDs in three seasons in Jacksonville.

Lions have reportedly shown some interest in Jones possibly.
Anyone interested in taking Detroit's 2nd round pick (#3 in round) + a swap of 4th's and Kennard for Jones and KC's 4th rounder?
That seems like a pretty bad trade for a guy in the last year of his contract that will be 29 years old in a couple months that the Lions were fixing to release. [Reply]

Fair enough.
He would fill a need, though. Obviously, the Chiefs would have to work an extension with him at some point.
And you’d get almost the equivalent of a late 1st and 3rd with Detroit’s 2 & 4.
I just honestly don’t think the Chiefs are gonna get a deal done with Jones (numbers wise), so wondering if they should just take the best deal they can get at this point? [Reply]

If the Lions release him, you can sign him without giving anything up. Additionally, because it was a release, he doesn't count against your free agent +/- and therefore won't cost you when it comes to comp picks. [Reply]
Can I just take a second to say that considering how mad some of you were that the Chiefs lost Chris Ballard and promoted Veach that Ballard has NOT been that great at building anything in Indy. [Reply]
