Just loves the throwback, like every other rational person in the world

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..."

I’d give them a conditional 5th.

I’d give them a conditional 5th.

I'm guessing that probably would not get the deal done.

Now you understand. I'm seriously curious about Kansas City's plan for him is though while I'm snickering quietly while listening to Cheifs fans in the very epicenter of Chiefs Kingdom. Personally I think it's about the guaranteed money the cap isn't an issue at all.

Commence the dreaming boys and girls , looks like just a LITTLE bit of smoke here.... or Jones just trolling KC, ho boy

That's our hat, why is he wearing our hat?

 

[Flyingsquad23]

This is the hat from the game last night. Wish it was the other one but that would’ve been kind of scandalous.

They had the beat reporter for KC on the radio the other day and he said it would probably take just a 2nd and a 5th to get Jones. I would pull the trigger on that and figure out the cap space.

Now that the 49ers got Bosa's contract done. I'm guessing Chris Jones is going to want to be in the same ballpark as that deal. If you are the Seahawks would you shelve out $30M+ for a DL when you didn't want to give your starting QB that type of money?

I get it, he's a great player but Seattle hasn't played a down yet with the guys they have . In addition he's going to want 25-30 MM per year, what does that say to the young dudes already here? They could figure out a way to trade for him but the contract is what I'd be worried about.

To me it says if you play elite you get paid elite... I don't see a problem with that. If anything it gives young guys something to aspire to. Might motivate some of them even more. And the ones it doesn't aren't on the upper part of the "competitor scale" and aren't players you keep around anyways.

You think of him as elite? I know he's good but not sure about Bosa money. I'm glad I'm not the GM

He's the 2nd best DT behind only Aaron Donald by most people's opinion. I'd say he's elite, yeah. He is 29 though, idk how many more seasons of elite you're getting on this next contract? Definitely a consideration.

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

The thing is even Chiefs fans believe he's really good but nowhere near Bosa/Donald level or money. Between this and Denver's mess I'm in heaven.

 

[James in PA]

I'm torn on this one. He is a stud that one would assume takes us from "they've got a chance" to "no doubt about it" among the elite. But given our track record with acquiring big name players in expensive trades, it makes me nervous.

That’s my mockingly sarcastic reply. I remember when Earl Thomas trade rumors were swirling, I’d check out other teams forums and that was the usual response. Seattle wanted a first + another pick and the yahoo fanbases would chime in with “the conditional 5th” remark.

 

[toffee]

Can Jones play nose? or he will be a 3-4 DE? lol, like Jones - Reed - Jones, if the Jones demand double teaming, Reed shall feast.

Okay I’ll sweeten the deal, a conditional 4th and a pick off our practice squad.
