Just curious because several have insisted that they prefer that over #26 and #70. Its 18 AND 70...minimum for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 How about with Bengals? Thinking: Bengals get: Chris Jones, DT Chiefs get: Geno Atkins, DT William Jackson III, CB #2.33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 How about this. Chris new york giants for 2021 1st round pick and a third this year. also I think jones to tampa bay or seattle for a 2 this year and a 2 and 3 next year makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The main reason for trading Jones is to get value while shedding salary. Trades that involve getting vet players don't have all the benefits of shedding salary. Thus the need to trade for picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reesebobby 5,663 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 18 and 70 for me. That could be some homerism, but I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno would cost about $11M and is still a elite DT that should last another 3 years for us. William Jackson had one of the best years ever as a CB before injuries hit. He is suppose to be fully healthy and could be a HUGE upgrade for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this guy i have no interest in trading jones for an older player with a big salary. Either keep jones another year and let him walk or trade for cheap draft picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacklock isn't certain to replace Jones, but he's a first round talent with potential who would be playing for one or two million per year vs. 16.1 to 21 million for Jones. There's just no way the Chiefs can pay two D-linemen $20 million each and sign Mahomes for $40 million. They can cobble together some contracts for this season, but sooner or later the bill will come due and Kelce, Schwartz, and other pillars of the team will want to be paid or leave. Only way to avoid the problem is to shed players for draft picks while the players have high value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question remains simply watching a few players leave to bring in comp. pick or trading them prior to paying. I hate to see Jones as the odd man out as DL is very critical but as the current contracts stand he seems to be the primary candidate to leave as we've already paid a lot of guys.

Balto 723 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 No one has mentioned #1.26 + 2.39. These two picks are actually more value than #18+#70 Maybe Miami likes this better because they can still get a quality OT at #18 while waiting till #26 could be slim pickings. OR #26 this year + 2021 1st rounder, they have two 1st next year so this would not hurt them that bad. OR my favorite.... #18+#26+2021 1st for Jones+Fisher They have TONS of cap and can get a seasoned OT in Fisher to protect the rookie QB plus getting Jones of course.

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I’ve flopped back to keeping Jones. His contract will be big but our defense was more than fine with crap at LB and a very meh DB group and Thornhill injured. Why? Because we generated pressure and losing that pocket collapsing presence exposes every level behind it. Frank isn’t as good, the LBs get expose in coverage along with DBs. I would love the haul we could get but he is the cog that makes it work. Pay him, draft guys that our incredible staff can coach up and fill holes with guys on FA that want a ring or a prove it year. We can actually be a good bit better next year on both sides of the ball with at least one upgrade on the IOL and with an athletic WLB, drafted DB and Thornhill coming back. With that said I’ll probably flop back to trade him by next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAs will come big time for a good chance to win it all and see the multiple ring potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have gone through a lot of Ryan SIms, Junior Siavii, Tank Tyler, Turk McBride, Tyson Jackson, Glenn Dorsey and Dontari Poe types trying to find someone like Chris Jones. I hate the idea of finally getting one and then letting them go at 25 years of age. oldtimer, Wolfscall and Troyofoc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most would rather play for the Chiefs than, say, Detroit unless they're from that area, but will they take a big cut to do it? Playoff money isn't a big factor to the multi-millionaires so how much is a ring and bragging rights worth to today's players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sims, Dorsey and Jackson were all top 6 picks in round 1. Poe was #11. Siavii, McBride round 2. That's a lot of draft capital for what we got.

Ring is critical in 30s for a post-playing career but definitely not that much early on except for guy that actually can't get the big money and wants to be in the spotlight via playoffs on a short term deal. I doubt a young big name FA would really take a paycut though. May be a million or two of a huge deal but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard on the radio today that a good source has Miami going back and fourth on QB or OT at #5 because they are 100% sold on Tua’s health or Herbert overall. So giving them Jones+Fisher and taking 18+26+2021 1st gives them the ability to take that QB at #5 while still getting their DT and OT to answer your question....Yes I’d draft one and sign a guy like Peters until the rookie is dry. Yes Peters is about done but still had a better season than Fisher and can hold down LT for a few games until rookie is ready and then Peters can be our swing for the rest of the season. #1.18: Murray or Queen for our LB #1.26: Cleveland, OT 1.32: Best CB/OG/OC on board or maybe send this pick to Cards for Peterson plus have two 1st next year to replace even more players!
