I completely agree with you.
Cleveland Browns has $43 M of cap space. New England Patriots has $893 K of cap space.
As a player for an NFL team, I'd want my team to be spending their cap and taking care of their players. [Reply]
You know what I just realized. Jones 16 mil is already included in the cap and we still have 5 mil to spare. A deal will get done. Veach knows the cap will skyrocket next year. Sign Jones to about 10 mil this year and start giving him 22-23 dollars each year afterwards. Same goes for Mahomes but with a 4 in front of it [Reply]

Will be interesting to see when rookies sign and if there is language that addresses covid (not sure that’s even possible but throwing it out there). [Reply]

I dont think this is right. Where did you read this?
Edit*
Well you're right according to Spotrac and OTC. That increases my belief that we're extending Jones. I was trying to figure out a way we could afford to extend him with only $5 mil in cap space, but extending him will lower his cap hit for the year and would allow us to resign Breeland.
Both Mack and Donald had low cap hits in their first 2 years of their new contracts, so what we could do is go really low on Jones 1st year, say like $6 or $7 mil and that gives us ~$15 mil in cap space. Have Breeland at $8-$9 mil cap hit and then we have enough to sign rookies. You extend Mahomes this offseason, but he's still playing on the last year of his rookie deal, so he's not gonna cost any extra this year.

Not really. We are fortunate for his mobility and intuition skills taking over before getting hit and he still did get hit way too much for my liking regardless. [Reply]

Ding...Ding...Ding!
Been trying to tell folks in the, "There's NO WAY KC can afford Jones" crowd that, but most have their minds made up, even though Veach has told us that Jones is in KC's plans. [Reply]

22-23 dollars? I'm all for it but I don't think Jones will go for that. [Reply]

Exactly. Veach spends his money well. I love having him as our GM. [Reply]

Youve gotten to the point that you are spamming this shit in all threads about Jones. No fucking substance ever. Just the same shit over and over. [Reply]
