Look at the cap hits for Buckner’s deal. Really not that bad if we can backloads this thing:
2020-23.378
2021-17
2022-16
2023-19.75
2024-20.25
If Veach can maneuver a little more and have Chris Jones biggest cap hit this year with Mahomes making only $5.36 million it will make this deal look like highway robbery.
Imagine Chris Jones at similar cap hits to Buckners from 2021-2024? Damn [Reply]
If Jones signs a new deal with the Chiefs, I'd expect it to be in the $105-$110 million dollar range in total value, probably something like $63-65 million guaranteed, with the bulk of the payments coming in 2021-2023.
Jones is a such a beast, which was re-affirmed after watching the AFC Championship and Super Bowl late last night.
What he brings to the defense isn't easily replaceable and I think that once he gets paid, he'll turn it up another notch because he won't be concerned about an injury ruining his chances at a defining second contract. [Reply]

Yep. Mahomes contract gives them the flexibility they were lacking and I think Veach gets it done. Defensive line is important to Spags and keeping Jones gives Spags what he needs. [Reply]
I voted before seeing his tweets. DAMN IT! Just doesn't seem possible with all the big contracts, plus knowing the overall strategy going forward has got to be more towards accumulating draft picks. But maybe they have one last big contract to go all-in the next two years. Would be pretty great to have Jones. [Reply]

There is no way his biggest cap hit would be this year. Hes already counting towards $16 mil and we only have like $3 or $4 mil in cap space. [Reply]
Im guessing he gets a 5 yr/$110 mil contract ith $50 mil guaranteed. Cap hit will be >$10 mil to give us some flexibility to go out and sign someone. [Reply]
I'll guess Veach is trying to iron out a lower year 1 - I'll give a wild guess of 5/103 with 40 guaranteed
