Oh wait he hasn't. In all fairness I don’t think he’s ever lost a road playoff game either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 20 minutes ago, SCBills said: A lot of good players like Humphrey and Smith on their OL will be needing new deals soon.. and likely won't be cheap. A guard and a center shouldn't enter the conversation when you're talking about a proven elite pass rusher. Other than Jones they have no one in their front 4 that offenses have to game plan around. I guess if they want to win all out shootouts that's one strategy but they tried that in 2018 and they fell short of the ultimate goal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point you have to rebuild Super Bowl rosters. NE traded Richard Seymour. It hurt definitely but they recovered. Trading Jones is the next step for KC. They will recover. Of course it’s impossible to “know”. Jones wreaked havoc vs Cinci. In a game decided by a late hit penalty, my money is on Cinci winning that game if Jones wasn’t playing. He’s a true difference maker 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Almost starting to wonder if this Jones situation is all part of the 'script' this year for Mahomes to further reach godlike status and win another SB without Jones playing all or most of the season. Either way like I've said before, I'm certainly not upset about this situation and hope Jones sticks to his guns and drags this out well into the regular season.

He’s a great player. I’ve acknowledged that. But if I were the Chiefs GM I’m trading the 29 year old great DT for multiple picks instead of paying him nearly $30 million a season for multiple years. Chiefs won 2 Super Bowls, he definitely helped. But they can reload and still win more without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue why the Chiefs are playing chicken with the most important player on their defense but I'll take it. Sounds like Lemar Jackson.

BillsShredder83 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 3 hours ago, SCBills said: Completely agree. It's why we went out and signed Von. We were desperately searching for that elite level difference maker on Defense. Chris Jones has been that for KC.. and they 100% lose to the Bengals in the AFC CG without him. As good as Mahomes/Kelce are, they can't do it alone, and watching that game made it abundantly clear that Chris Jones was the difference between winning and losing. I'd even argue that an elite DT is worth more than an elite EDGE. Guys like Chris Jones and Aaron Donald completely destroy and/or occupy the middle of an OL, thus allowing everyone else to play off of them. 1,000% agree. Thing is there are so few elite enough to meet that standard. I'd add Vita Vea to the list. Dude is a game wrecker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beebe Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) long term, the bills will be better off if the chiefs sign the massive jones contract imo. next year, kc is going to dump MVS and then will have the cheapest WR group in the league. if justyn ross becomes the real deal - and it seems he might - and if rashee rice is the real deal - and it seems he might be - the kc receiving corps is going to be young/cheap for a very long time. they're about to keep seven WRs and probably will have at least one signed away. getting rid of jones will get them more picks (9 of 10 made the roster last year, 7 of 7 will make the roster this year), tons of cap flexibility etc. Edited August 23, 2023 by beebe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s 29. 3 year contract and he’ll be 31. If I were them I would keep Jones and let Creed go. Every great team will be somewhat crippled while trying to stay on top. I think Chris Jones is elite and if he leaves, their D will take a huge dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also turning 30 this year and DTs’ productions drop off drastically after 30. Creed and Trey Smith are due. Also their stud MLB and CB1. They’ve drafted really well the last few years and it’s about time to pay those guys. Not extending CJ would allows them to keep a few. However it turns out it’s great to see the champs have some turmoil! This can only help all the other AFC teams including the Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take the elite pass rushing/run stopping DT over a pro bowl C and solid MLB every day of the week and 5 times on Sunday. Creed, Bolton and Sneed are all minor pieces when compared to the impact Jones makes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
