Someone else will eventually step up but yeah pretty much.

Plus let's be real, there are going to be years that don't go as well as others. This just increases the chances of making the dance and then who knows.

We only move earned incentives that are designated as unlikely to be earned incentives to next years cap. Considered he hit none of those benchmarks in 2019, it's a good bet. And if he hits them it means he had a great year for us and stayed mostly healthy.

That is how it worked in the last CBA and I didn't hear about that changing in the new one.

FYI these are categorized as not likely to be earned because he reached none of these in 2019. The following are the not likely to be earned incentives in Sammy's new contract: 75% of regular-season playing time (or seven touchdowns): $1 million 8 touchdowns and team makes playoffs: $750,000 65 catches and playoffs: $750,000 800 yards receiving and playoffs: $750,000 Team wins AFC Championship (with 50% snaps in the game): $1.25 million 65 catches and AFC Championship: $1.25 million 800 yards and AFC Championship: $1.25 million

If the incentives are structured as not likely to be earned they would not hit the cap until triggered.

Here ya go Poor Bears fans will never live that one down.

I hope u know that opinion is not based on market rates. He's a little overpaid but not by that much.

Yep. Not even close. Probably has more games missed than sacks in the last few years.

All if that with the exception of Mahomes obviously, is not as good as a game changer up the middle. Watch Derrick Brown get drafted way too high this year based on the possibility that he might be able to rush the passer. Same with Kinlaw. Spoiler alert, Kinlaw might but Brown won't. Btw, Mahomes contract is not dependent on CJ. The cap can handle both if they're structured to.

No doubt huh. He's not wrong though. The old narrative that Jones is bad against the run can die as well.

This helps us. We just got a better chance of making the playoffs in down years and we will win our share of 1 seeds in the AFC. Not a fan overall but this is good for KC perhaps more than any other team. Even as a 7 seed you have to like our chances in the tourney with Mahomes.

Not always. There are ways to mitigate opposing pass rushers, including shotgun snaps, rollouts, and play design. Of course, the best method is your all world QB getting the ball out fast to your plethora of good receivers who can beat man and zone coverages, especially press coverage beaters.

Chris Jones is even more dominant than you think Sam Hays 4 hours ago Throughout the NFL, there are highly regarded defensive players in the trenches. Aaron Donald, Von Miller and Khalil Mack are usually the first names that come to mind. Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones should be in this short-shortlist, yet he doesn’t get much of the same respect beyond hardcore football fans. Even some Chiefs fans don’t give Jones this level of respect. It’s beyond time for that to change. Jones is one of the most dangerous pass-rushers in the NFL. Since the 2018 regular season, Jones has racked up 132 pressures and 25 sacks, according to Pro Football Focus. He ranks third among interior defenders in pressures and second in sacks in that span. Sounds great, right? Well, those numbers are even more impressive than they look. Jones also plays dramatically fewer pass-rushing snaps than most of his competition. That’s right, Jones is third in pressures and second in sacks among interior defenders since 2018, while barely reaching 1,400 total snaps and fewer than 1,000 pass-rushing snaps. Since 2018, Los Angeles Rams DT Aaron Donald has played 420 more total snaps and 217 more pass-rushing snaps. Philadelphia Eagles DT Fletcher Cox has played 211 more total snaps and 183 more pass-rushing snaps. Former San Francisco 49ers and new Indianapolis Colts DT DeForest Buckner has played 244 more total snaps and 121 more pass-rushing snaps. This gives these other great interior defenders a distinct advantage on Jones when it comes to traditional counting stats. And still, Jones performs at or beyond their standards. He's just that dominant. To equal out this snap count disparity, let’s change it from a volume-focused stat to an efficiency-focused one, by using pressure rate and sack rate. In the last two seasons, Jones has a 14.0% pressure rate and a 2.7% sack rate. Buckner has a 10.2% pressure rate and a 2.0% sack rate. Cox has a 13.4% pressure rate and a 1.3% sack rate. Donald has a 16.0% pressure rate and a 3.0% sack rate. Donald is well on pace to be the greatest defensive tackle in football history, and Jones is closer to Donald than any other interior defender in football. Let’s look at some more complex metrics from PFF, specifically Pass Rushing Productivity (PRP) and Wins Above Replacement (WAR). Jones had a 90.9 overall grade and 91.5 pass rushing grade in 2018 and an 86.3 overall grade and 90.0 pass rushing grade in 2019. Jones finished second in pass rushing grade both seasons, only behind Donald. In Pass Rushing Productivity, a metric designed to measure pressure on a per-snap basis with weighting towards sacks, Jones has finished second in both seasons (behind Donald) with PRP ratings of 9.2 in 2018 (Donald: 10.1) and 8.2 in 2019 (Donald: 8.7). Wins Above Replacement, a concept previously popularized in baseball, is a metric that PFF has taken to show the value a football player brings compared to their peers. Jones is fourth in WAR among interior defenders since entering the league in 2016 and third since 2018. Since WAR is a volume metric and Jones has the previously-discussed snap disadvantage, one can safely assume that Jones would be second with an equal distribution of snaps. There should be no more doubts about what Chris Jones can do. Jones is one of the most effective, valuable defensive linemen in the NFL and he terrorizes offensive lines on a consistent basis. That is part of why he is double-teamed on nearly 70% of pass-rushing snaps, the most among all defensive tackles according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Jones is a dominant force that offenses will have to deal with for years to come. The Chiefs should do everything in their power to make sure that’s in red and gold.

He's ok. That's part of the problem. He's just ok. That said, he does have his football virtues and the value is there. Would really like to see us come out of this draft with another good WR or TE though. Or both. I know everybody's blah blah blah IOL, LB, yadda yadda yadda, but we gotta feed the beast and we just won a superbowl with shitty IOL and LBs.

We're actually probably a couple mil over, per the new breakdown at arrowhead pride. If they are correct, we have until friday to get back under so I would expect some moves this week.

We know. But like stubby and hands, we let you stay anyway.
