You really think they'd go to that extent for high end PR?

My guess is still that Veach is diligently trying to get something done that he feels comfortable with.

And ultimately Jones will go to the highest bidder which won't be Veach.

But as long as Jones hasn't signed somewhere else, and as long as KC clearly hasn't pivoted by signing some other deal that precludes it..., maybe, just maybe.

But I certainly don't want Jones at any cost... Or even at market cost.

With cap going up it’s going to be min 30aav for a guy who was the best at his position last year where it’s hard to find pass rushers I’m hoping it just ends up at 30 maybe sticking point is guaranteed and length .

I agree. I don't think this will get done. I don't think Sneed will get done either. We wont over pay and that's what it will take. Jones has 3 rings and Sneed has 2. They want massive money and we would kill the team if we give it.

We heard this crap about optimism last summer.

I'm allergic to Katz.

He has zero reason to not take max money , longer this takes likelier he is gone .

I just remember the reports about how optimistic they were Tyreek was going to sign coming out of the combine two years ago... then the Adams trade happened... poof gone.

My over/under on this is that we get neither back. As others have stated, we all heard all the optimism about extending Hill, then last summer extending Jones. The fiasco of Jones’ holdout just showed he and his agents ready to die on the hill of getting the best deal. Somebody will throw a stupid Bills-Von Miller deal at Jones and Veach won’t play. Sneed has a lot of interest and we’ll get back a reasonable pick.

That's...not how over/under works...

Pleading guilty of bad gambling metaphor.

I’ll put the over under at 1.5 for Sneed and/or Jones to be back.

Over or under 1.5 of the two?

Under for both but not 1.

Looking at the cap it seems impossible to have both sadly. That means you have to trade Sneed.
