Boone 304 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 They owed him the money anyway, they were earned incentives from last year. But there was an option in his contact that allows them to tag him after being paid for the incentives. They picked up the option, but it doesn't mean they will use the tag.

Does this tip their hand at keeping him another year at minimum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tag and trade before the draft or resign so we can move on with other needs etc. Don't want to wait last minute and screw us on this like last year. oldtimer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player makes the call, but the agent can influence the player to make a bad one. Orlando Brown is one example and it would seem that Jones last summer is another. Did Jones learn something? Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine having that first game and being game ready. The Chiefs did him a solid letting him play into the 3rd quarter of a game that did not matter to get his 1 million dollar sack bonus. He would be wise to remember that in signing a tag and trade or a contract. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure they use the tag on CJ if it comes to that unless they are just really close on a deal and they need to buy some extra time before FA starts or they have a trade in place. His tag number is around 32 million and I think they will want more flexibility going into FA unlike last year. Jones has one question to answer that will decide this do you still want 30 million or do you want a chance at making history.

West 6,713 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 My guess is that the Chiefs are weighing the Cap hit out 3 or 4 years and trying to rework Mahomes to make "more" possible. The opportunity to "3 Peat" is very compelling for the players. I like that Mahomes put "3 Peat" out there immediately and Jones has since jumped on that train. On thing about "drunk talking" is that it shows how a person really feels....Jones wants to come back and he loves his coaches and his teammates and Kansas City....he is a big difference maker on that DL and in the Locker Room. artsy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the evidence that Jones is willing to give a home town discount in order to get a fourth ring? He may be crucial to the Chiefs winning, but so are Sneed, Tranquill, Allegretti, Gay, Edwards and Danna along with about five other bit players. The Chiefs can't keep everyone and some team with more cap room than brains will offer Jones a deal that the Chiefs can't match. Last summer showed Jones's priorities. artsy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAUI 4,758 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I used to cringe every time there was a punt or kickoff return. I'd like to see us retain Richie James if it can be done cheaply. Our return game has been a shit show until he showed up. West and artsy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that the top priority is to not fumble and fair catching on the five is pretty important as well, but did James have any meaningful returns? There's been a few playoff/SB games where big returns were game changing. oldtimer and Iluvhouse24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,207 Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Why not have a return specialist? Dante Hall changed a few games. I remember seeing Tamrick Vanover win a couple of games with returns. Earlier, Nolen Smith (Super Gnat) made some great returns. None of them played well at regular positions.

Probably because hardly anyone returns anything anymore!!!!!!! I really think they should consider getting rid of the kickoffs. Very rarely does it even get returned! NFL average per game was 1.1 kickoff return per game. Waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective, I’m afraid of giving him a big contract and his play falling off a cliff and being stuck with an albatross contract. He isn't even 30 yet. He could play 3 more years and be 32 when he is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
