Terez said the cap money we have is earmarked for Jones. Veach has said re-signing CJ95 is a priority. The salary cap is going to completely explode over the next 5 years. The only reason Jones isn’t here next year is if we get a crazy deal for him or he comes back after injury ineffective [Reply]

That said, Jones is the best Dt In the league not named Aaron Donald. You have to keep him.
If anyone goes, it has to be Spagnuolo for not getting production out of talented players.
Even Honey Badger has looked pretty unspectacular in Spags' scheme.
Its one of the main reasons our D is so frustrating, because even our best players look like shit.
They’re still learning the scheme. Clark has been 1v1 76% of the time and hasn’t done shit. That’s not on spags [Reply]

When you put 11- no name guys on a defense you get a really, really shitty defense more often than not.
Right now you are witnessing a defense with 9-no name guys who everyone here was piping all off-season as being "good enough".
When you have talent you do your best to maintain those guys and you build around them. When you completely nuke a roster and start from scratch with a bunch of JAGS you get the 2019 Chiefs defense.
I know nobody can replicate what the cheatriots can do, but they can do it. I know they paid Mayo a ton and some other guys got paid, but typically they fill out the roster with dudes that don't make that much money.
For my money, give me Hussain Abdullah instead of Eric Berry. Berry was the better player, but the production per unit salary cap was better for Abdullah. [Reply]

That would be great if he was actually in Aaron Donald's level of talent. NOBODY in the entire NFL is even close to Donald's level. Unlike our $20 million DE, Donald isn't stopped by just one man unless he's playing hurt. Chris Jones is a great athlete who I feel is abandoning his assignment to get into the backfield to get "his sack" to raise his asking price. But, in no way, shape, or form is he worth Donald's contract. If that's the only way he stay's here, trade him and bring in guys who know how to fundamentally tackle and don't give a rat's ass about individual stats. [Reply]

Something to think about Detox. “No name guys” or unproven guys have been performing better than the highly paid. Not all have been great but a lot have performed well.
Damien Williams (last season and this season)
Byron Pringle
Juan Thornhill
Mecole Hardman
Charvarious Ward
Emmanuel Ogbah
Tanoh Kpassagnon
Martinas Rankin is TBD but he did look good in his first game.
Need to see an influx of these guys being brought in. [Reply]

Darrel Williams too!! Veach has gotten more production from his 2018 UDFA then he has his entire 2018 draft class [Reply]
