I don't see them paying 2 guys that much on the DL, so it just makes sense to tag and trade him.
If you could tag and trade him and get say, the 24th pick in the draft back for him, you'd probably do that no?
If Veach Is the GM folks think he is, there's no way you let a defender of Jones quality walk out the door. We're trying to BUILD a defense, not make it even worse than it is. I believe Jones stays tbh. [Reply]

If you want to build a defense, i'm not sure how his contract figures into it.
You'd have him and Clark and then you've have to piece the rest together.
I'm not opposed to keeping him, but if his contract demands are that high, i'd take the pick and let someone else pay him. [Reply]
PP PP PP...... On and on. This is the longest ever discussion of nothing. He wants to stay in AZ and they want him there but we can't let it go. [Reply]

He most certainly does not want to be there. He made that pretty evident when he asked for a trade. He may be delivering lip service now to appease the fans and front office, but he made his real feelings known quite clearly. [Reply]
I don't understand why they wouldn't trade him either way, winning or losing.
It seems negligent to me in these situations to not move these guys. He's not gonna be on the team or in his prime when you're competitive, that 2nd or whatever pick you get is worth more than him. [Reply]

That 2020 base salary of $12.5 million is pretty rough for a 30 year old CB, though.
Makes the 2nd rounder a little tougher to swallow. For some reason I thought he was 28 this year and making around $9 million in base next year. A year older and 33% more expensive makes the calculus a little different. Especially for a CB (who don't get progressively worse; they're good and then they just SUCK).
I just don't know. I don't think I'd be pursuing the Cardinals here; I think I slow play that and let them come to me. At a 3rd rounder I'm in but that 2nd....ugh...i just go back and forth. The Chiefs could do a lot with that 2nd rounder. Like, they could use it as a throw in on a trade for a DE that needs a huge contract or something like that. [Reply]

I just don't know that he would be a guy that would fall off the cliff, but he does rely on physicality some.
I dunno. I'd still do it and see if they'd maybe switch your third or something.
But the biggest reason I'd do it is that I think you can recoup it by tagging and trading Jones. [Reply]
Seriously, go listen to the end of Terez last podcast. Everyone uses him as gospel around here, he pretty much spells out that the Chiefs have eyes and know what the Cb situation is and that they're gonna make a move there. [Reply]
