Chris Jones - Championship?

[SNDavidson]

Can the Seahawks pay this guy?

Where does the Chiefs pass rush stand without Chris Jones?

The Chiefs may be without their top two pass-rushers to start the season, as Jones holds out and Charles Omenihu serves a six-game suspension.

"...As the Chiefs creep closer to their Sept. 7 season opener against the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is still scrambling to figure out where the pass-rush pressure and sacks will come from, particularly if Jones doesn’t end his holdout before then..."

Can't imagine we could come close to the contract he would want. Hell of player, no doubt. Plus, you would have to give up high draft picks. Can't see it happening.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

It sure is tempting, especially with Jones playing our biggest position of need.

But after the Adams dumpster fire, I'd be EXTREMELY hesitant to not only give up high picks, but to hand Jones the contract he's demanding. Which is 30M a year.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

You wanna bolster your D-line for much less given up, this would be a Schneider type move.

Not happening KC will resign him at some point.

Chiefs, DT Chris Jones Not Close To Deal

The Chiefs' title defense begins on Thursday, but it remains to be seen if they will have Chris Jones available for Week …

"Not close to a deal"

We're tight on cap space, but JS just gave a press conference about always competing to get better...

 

[SNDavidson]

Sounds like the Seahawks would have to pay him $30m/per

"I think our coaches are excited about our group," Schneider said. "We are trying to get a feel for the landscape right now and going over the waiver wire and all that, possible trades, we're still constantly working on it. I don't think on either side of the ball, the way the league is playing out right now, last several years I don't think you have enough offensive linemen or enough defensive linemen. That's not a slight on anybody that's here or on other teams, it's just the reality of it. The numbers are down over the last several years, especially in the offensive line. Defensive line-wise, we're constantly looking and we won't stop."

I wonder what he means exactly.

Are there less qualified players for the lines these days ? Why? Is it related to COVID ?

That last sentence was a joke.

He also talked about learning from his time in Green Bay about making sure to have enough "dry powder" in reserves to make moves later in the season if needed.

As attractive as adding Jones is, this would be the opposite of what he said yesterday.

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

Just isn't happening I'm not sure about what's going on other then Kansas City refuses to be dictated to by anyone not named Patrick Mahomes because they have the cap room. So this about something else in my opinion.

Maybe the Chiefs will trade Chris Jones to the 49ers for Nick Bosa.

 

[knownone]

We only have 2 million in cap space. Let's assume Seattle wants Jones. How would they do it? I don't see any reasonable trade scenarios.

 

[SNDavidson]

I don't think Seattle would go for him, they don't need him, and are not in a position to buy him.

This feels like several years ago when Khalil Mack became available, pass.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

We only have 2 million in cap space. Let's assume Seattle wants Jones. How would they do it? I don't see any reasonable trade scenarios.

You could probably make it work in year one with backloading the contract and giving Jones a huge signing bonus like we did for Adams. I think his signing bonus was 21M?

But like Adams, backloading a contract on a player who might not see the back end of it healthy and productive means another cap anchor around our necks in future years.

So again, as much as Jones coming to Seattle is super exciting to think about, it'd severely limit even a small amount of cap and we can assume at LEAST one 1st rounder, if not two.

Sounds like Chandler Jones wants out of Vegas. He would be the type of addition that makes more sense this year.

Jones appeared frustrated after he claimed Raiders staff wouldn't let him into the team facility and he couldn't get ahold of coach Josh McDaniels or GM David Ziegler.

We already have a poor mans Chris Jones FA in hargrave. I don't think the Seahawks front office is going to be too eager to be trading for high priced players that cost high draft picks after being burned by Jamal Adams' injuries in the last big trade. But yeah, he would really help. He is an all pro player and wreaked havoc against Jimmy G in the superbowl
