Hopefully they can structure Mahomes’ deal to create new room for Jones in 2024, 2025, and perhaps 2026. Lamar Jackson has very low cap hits compared to his massive cash payouts from 2023 to 2025, so it CAN be done. [Reply]

Does make you wonder how much knowing they were working on that deal affected the Jones negotiations. [Reply]
Chris Jones played the normal amount of snaps in the 1st quarter. 2Q, the Bears had 4 drives of 5 plays, 1 play, 2 plays, 3 plays. Chiefs defense was so good it didn't even get to the money downs where Chris comes in and wrecks stuff. By that point the Chiefs were up 34-0.
