The Chiefs did not overpay Chris Jones. He is the best DT in the league and should be paid accordingly. Of course there's risk involved because there's always risk but, this was the right decision.
I was gonna say the same thing. This man got paid twice in my eyes because he's getting paid for his leadership and his skill. So it's worth it now. We won't have to get another one. Maybe drop a🎉 back up. I'm excited for Chris Jones in the future.
I can’t be the only fan thinking this contract isn’t the move.. this can’t be good for the cap🤷♂️ he’s towards the end of his career imo… love him but this is wild asf
To keep ahead of everyone the Chiefs really need to get some explosive offensive players for next season. Not enough play makers on offense at the moment.
Money is incredible in the NFL - Aussie Chiefs fan here and the most elite Aussie football players barely sniff 1M aud avg per year. I guess when you consider many NFL players are one play away from potentially being permanently disabled or even dead the money is understandable given how much revenue there is in the league. No issue with CJ deal not only is he elite he is the leader and heartbeat of the defence which is hard to put a price on.
I'm team Darnell Mooney over Calvin ridley because we can't afford someone like him while Mooney is a cheaper but threatening option. Liking the Chiefs moves.
Agreed. Calvin would be great. However, per your point, this is football with a salary cap and not baseball. Mooney is a better fit with the cap and is younger. We should still draft a WR in the middle rounds depending on if we can sign a tackle in Free Agency.
Signing Jones definitely puts us in a numbers crunch later on, but it's math worth doing because without him the defense takes a major step backwards. Overall, we gain more than we lose by keeping him. Also, even the most negative fan can't deny he's earned it.
I'm a Chris Jones fan, but I believe this new contract is an overreach... and will his drive be the same after getting 'paid'? I saw what happened to Von Miller after he got 'paid' following Denver's last SB win. He was not the same guy, he coasted and didn't work as hard and then the injuries started mounting. Contracts are a slippery slope and you never pay for past performance, you pay for future return... The Patriots were famous for shipping guys out before their big payday. I hope I'm wrong. I'd love to see the Chiefs dynasty continue.
Here are some other things he didnt menchin in free agency. Deandrea Swift to the bears. Kevin Byard to the bears. Xavier McKinney to the packers. Brian Burns to the giants, Mac Jones to the Jags, and the packer released David Bahktiara. Kirk Cousins to the falcons, and Zack Ertz to the commanders. FJerry Jeudy to the browns, and Derrick Henry to the Ravens. Finally, Sam Darnold to the vikings, and Tony Pollard to the Titans.
No, the Chiefs had to pay Chris whatever it took to keep him. Had he become a raider? holy crap there would not be a 3-peat Having said that, that’s a lot of money
Regarding the Jones deal. Hate to see Chiefs spend so much money on him. He is the most valuable player on defense. No doubt. But whether it is worth it or not will come down to whether the Chiefs win a couple more Super Bowls during his 5 year contract. If they win 2-3 more Super Bowls during the 5 year contract, then yes its worth it to pay him 158M. No Super Bowls or just 1 Super Bowl, Chiefs overpaid. Yes, as a Chiefs fan, 1 Super Bowl is not enough. Chiefs need multiple more Super Bowls.
They paid jones too much They should've focused on Sneed. How many coverage sacks did we get because of Sneed and McD? Now we can't afford to pay or sign anyone else. In fact, now we're -5 mil plus over the cap. We should've traded him and got a ton of picks and people for him like we did tyreek. I do not like this move AT ALL.
So people were saying that his makeshift security team was trying to be agents I guess they were very very good agents huh you see how the NFL try to down play those agents and the good job that they did Bravo agents of Chris Jones because you got that man paid no matter what people said about you the highest paid in his position so some people say those agents were crazy but they got the job done
Would feel a LOT better about Jones if we keep Sneed for at least next year. I am all for selling out for the 3 peat, but without adding to the offense, we can't afford to lose anyone on defense ... especially Sneed.
I can make an argument that Chris Jones’ play late in our SB victories is the reason we won. Without CJ, we don’t have at least 2 of our 3 rings the last 5 years. Worth every penny
Outside of Chris Jones and Drue Tranquil,I hope the Chiefs make a substantial acquisition at LT,WR,CB,backup QB. No dumpster diving!! No scabs!! No Drew Lock , or resigning of Jody Fortson,get a athletic qb backup
If you want to go down as the greatest team in NFL history, by winning 3x STRAIGHT you gotta buck the trend of letting other teams poach your superstars and blue chip players after a SB WIN… that’s the goal, the deal for jones proves the front office is on board with Hatrick Mahomes. BUILDING LEGACY - we have never seen such consistency in a franchise and the workings to make it happen like the chiefs are striving to prove.
I was shocked at the amount guaranteed, but if anything this is more of a 3 year contract with (basically) a team option to keep him for years 4 & 5 if the Chiefs believe he's still producing at a level to warrant the amount we're paying him. This year's cap hit with CJ is actually quite low for someone with his production, which should help re-signing other depth players, but next year & the year after are going to be the "painful" years. Those are the years we can only hope he's healthy and producing at a high level, hopefully DOTY levels, with what we're paying him for years 2 & 3. Other things I've noticed with legal tampering opened up today: RBs are actually being picked up quickly with decent contracts to other teams, so the RB well is drying up fast & WRs are getting PAID $$$ despite there being a large availability of them in FA and in the upcoming draft. Kind of glad we didn't get Gabe Davis tbh, especially for that kind of money. I get the feeling we're going to be holding onto our wonderful WRs that make a living dropping passes every Sunday 🤣+ whoever we pick up in the draft.
I would have been fine with Gabe Davis getting $13 mil/ year we just got done paying MVS $11 million but I'm not saying I'm sad we didn't just would have been ok with the deal
TBH, I think he's not overpaid. Veach has managed to do great contracts and restructure them if necessary. Also, the salary cap might go higher again in a couple of years, thus, the impact on the total wouldn't be as much. Also, if Kelce retires in 1 or 2 years, the Chiefs won't have Jones, Mahomes and Kelce to pay. But only two of those, making room for other players getting paid.
Wingo nailed it. Pass pressure is so important to the entire team's success. It causes turnovers, prevents the other team from running the ball effectively and allows for your team to control the clock even more.
That was a mistake. Still no WR 1- who will stop a the WR 1 without Sneed🤦🏾♀️… Jones can’t neither can he score points or the offense. The league is literally building their teams to beat us meanwhile we can’t even pay the right talent to put around the best QB 👎🏽
We have burned before on long expensive contracts on aging vets (Eric Berry). But, I think this one works out well, Chris certainly hasn't been injury prone (which Sneed has had a lot of knee issues).
I got a crazy idea since the players think they are a 1 man show and deserve more money than the average fan would make in 10 lifetimes! All professional sports should have a 1-million-dollar max salary with performance incentives built in to make more. If you don't perform you don't get paid. paying someone 30-100mil just to show up is absolute insanity.
95 is no ordinary defenseman. I’ve noticed that he’s never pushed around by offensive players; he imposes his will, and is almost never thwarted from impacting the play. Donald and Crosby are deadly, but not as reliably and consistently impactful. So yeah, definitely worth his salt!
Happy Jones is staying for the 3 peat. I'll judge this deal after 3 years though. Frank Clark left because he was paid too much for lower production. Chris is better, but when you're the highest paid guy you better be Top 5 at the very least
I was down on Chris this year UNTIL I saw the way he hustled during the Bills playoff game. He singlehandedly nullified several big runs by running them down from behind
The thing I've been saying to everyone is that CJ needs to stay in KC because the man is home, this is where he belongs. I don't care how much money they had to spend, Chris is a very important part of the 3-peat (and more) equation and he's an invaluable weapon. He's absolutely worth every penny, nickel and dime the front offices paid him, I'm thrilled he's staying. I wish something could be worked out to keep Sneed, as well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed but I know that may not be viable. And who knows, we may get him back at a later time when we're able to pay him what he deserves.
Chris Jones deserves his money. I think Packers overpaid for Jacobs, especially when you consider they have Aaron Jones who is a better RB IMO. I still cant believe Kirk Cousins is still fleecing teams. Atlanta paid that man all that money to maybe end up in the WC and lose. I'm a firm believer in players getting their money, if the team wants to overpay, let them
If we hadn't won the Super Bowl this year, then I probably wouldn't like this contract because of his age. But we are trying to threepeat and become the greatest dynasty in NFL history. Slightly overpaying a beloved Chief who has been crucial to our success makes perfect sense in this context.
I think the Chiefs paid the necessary money. I just wish they could have structured it to minimize the cap hit. As a result of signing Chris Jones, Lajarius Sneed is gonna get traded for hopefully at least a 2nd round contract and maybe a 4th or 6th round as a bonus for them..
If you’re in the Kingdom and you’re not happy about this or don’t feel good about it…. There’s something wrong with you. This is incredible news. Imagine not paying the e best defensive player in the game whatever he wanted so he can be a Chief for life after being known for not paying anytime not named Patrick Mahomes, after back to back championship run, going for a 3peat! 3 super bowls! (so far)
Got to tell ya, as a fan of the Chiefs, I'm not happy shelly out 32 mil to Chris Jones per year as this means NO money to keep other good players. Townsend was 1/3 of the field goal team that had the best success of any team. Now that is doubt. Townsend left to get a 3 mil per yr salary. Let's hope the next holder can do as well. Allegretti, gone for 5.3 mil, your star backup for the whole line. This guy is a warrior. And Sneed, one of the very best shutdown corners was a major contributor to what made the defense so successful. The Chiefs can't waste to trade that 27 year old when they should be trying to sign him to a long term contract. I suspect , soon many many more Chief players will be somewhere else. Continuity is a great thing to maintain, but not on the Chiefs. The Chiefs paid too much for Jones. Very disappointed.
Most of the people here wasn't even chiefs fans until we won our first Superbowl in 50+ plus years. A bunch of bandwagons 😂. Been a chief fans since '06
He deserved it back when he shut down Derrick Henry to less than 90 yards when Henry was carrying the titans through the playoffs. Not to mention he was only supposed to play 3rd and 4th down that game coming off injury and at key times demanded he be put in on 1st and 2nd
Jones is as iconic as Mahomes and Kelce. His leadership is irreplaceable. His positional flexibility is critical. Glad to have him for the rest of his playing years. ♥️💛
Considering the fact the Raiders would have paid close to 37 mil a year to get Jones, things could be worse... but maybe they could be better, too? At the end of the day, every decision has an upside and a downside. I hope Jones will be more than worth it.
I think we could've kept Chris for a few mil less than what happened.. especially to keep sneed. Sneed is slightly less important than Jones. I mean.. rewatch the season. We need both but to say Jones is worth that much more than sneed just seems crazy to me. I really hope we can keep both.
The Chiefs have had Jones at a premium since they drafted him. He deserved to get the bags and somebody was going to give them to him, I'm glad the Chiefs pulled this trigger. It's not really a risk because he's already delivered above what he was earning.
It's a LOT of money 'but" Chris Jones appears to be a God loving decent man so more power to him and I don't want to hear a peep out of any idiots that trash this great country where "anybody" that uses the talents given by God can do so well.
Whoever is complaining about him getting that money is a complete casual. He’s done everything and has been a game changer when needed. So glad he’s staying.
Look sometimes it's worth paying a little extra money than maybe you should in order to keep a weapon like Jones out of the hands of another team. I think it was a smart move and when we win that 3. Pete I'm sure everybody will be happy about it.
There are 2 types of free agents. Those you overpay for and those someone else overpays for. That being said I’m glad KC stepped up a signed Jones, seeing him in another jersey would have been a travesty
Yeah sell the future of mahomes to one guy. Jones says he wants to retire as a chief, but obviously didn't move a tiny bit into Veachs direction since last year and chiefs had to make him the highest paid. Don't need a greedy mf who leaves the team alone if he doesn't get his money. I will never forget him this. Definitely overpaid, 1 or 2 years ago everyone said that chiefs are not so stupid to pay him aaron donald money, now he gets it and the fanboys still cheer for it.
I'm just pleased that Chris is with the team and no more offseason drama and uncertainty. I want Chris to focus forward and stay as healthy as possible.
Based on the logic you laid out regarding Chris Jones, it makes sense. He would have gotten more outside of KC and we don't want him going to the hated Raiders. Gross!
Love Jones! But over paid him and now we will not be able spend on a top receiver. Wish we paid Mike Evans instead which would have cost less and Jones would have made his top money somewhere else, which he deserves.
If we put it majority in a signing bonus I do feel like there is a world where we can keep Snead I'm not saying he's not worth the pic but I'm not really saying he is we keep him and just figure it out with the pics that we have
A football team has to have a great defense. A strong offense without a great defense loses games. In the last SB, the 49ers and the Chiefs both had great defenses and it was going to come down to which team had the better defense. The Chiefs had the better defense which led to the game winning TD. The Chiefs need a WR or TE and Travis will be teaching that person or two everything he knows. So they get the best of Travis before he retires which may or may not be in 2 years.
Anyone who thinks this was an overpay is not thinking logically. These guys deserve the payday I always say I’d rather the players get the money than the owners keeping it.
What's up legends! Did the Chiefs overpay for Chris Jones? Or nah. Lemme know!
Yes we should’ve signed sneed instead
The Chiefs did not overpay Chris Jones. He is the best DT in the league and should be paid accordingly.
Of course there's risk involved because there's always risk but, this was the right decision.
Nah he deserves it
Nope. People do not realize how much real-estate he takes up in tge trenches. Will pay off.
@@dmv_rbrownNope, corner is replaceable… a defensive tackle like jones isn’t
We’re paying for his leadership as much as his skill, worth every cent.
I was gonna say the same thing. This man got paid twice in my eyes because he's getting paid for his leadership and his skill. So it's worth it now. We won't have to get another one. Maybe drop a🎉 back up. I'm excited for Chris Jones in the future.

I wonder why KC hasn't restructured jawaun taylors contract he's a bum and definitely not worth what he's being over paid.
Na Chris deserves every penny. The kid worked his ass off and is the best in the biz let's get that 3 in a row!
Yup! I do think he deserves to be paid for his past performance. And he’s still playing on a high level so it’s a great move on every level IMO
I'm glad Chris got his bag. It's just sad because choosing between Sneed and Jones is like choosing between the left or right titty.
@@abnego9676 bro😭😭😭😭
Just because he deserves it doesn’t mean you can afford it.
@@abnego9676😂😂😂
Happy to see Chris Jones get paid!
To keep ahead of everyone the Chiefs really need to get some explosive offensive players for next season. Not enough play makers on offense at the moment.
Trust me veach will take care of it this draft and free agency he always makes sure to fix any broken spots
3 PEAT Let's go
im good with the deal for chris, he cant be replaced. he is as big a part of the success as pat is on offense
Chris Jones is the key to success and the money is spot on. I'm sure other clubs are not happy😂🎉🎉🎉
The Chiefs dropped the ball they should have signed him last year
Money is incredible in the NFL - Aussie Chiefs fan here and the most elite Aussie football players barely sniff 1M aud avg per year.

Happy with the signing, it was clearly the right thing to do
CJ is getting what CJ deserves. Stellar HoF DT and a locker room leader.
I'm team Darnell Mooney over Calvin ridley because we can't afford someone like him while Mooney is a cheaper but threatening option. Liking the Chiefs moves.
Agreed. Calvin would be great. However, per your point, this is football with a salary cap and not baseball. Mooney is a better fit with the cap and is younger. We should still draft a WR in the middle rounds depending on if we can sign a tackle in Free Agency.

HBTC = How Bout That Chris!!
Didn’t overpay especially if it kept from the raiders
Yess
3 peat all the way... Brett veach is the 🐐.
I'm a Chris Jones fan, but I believe this new contract is an overreach... and will his drive be the same after getting 'paid'?

I agree with your take
Can we just drop looney toney already......
Here are some other things he didnt menchin in free agency. Deandrea Swift to the bears. Kevin Byard to the bears. Xavier McKinney to the packers. Brian Burns to the giants, Mac Jones to the Jags, and the packer released David Bahktiara. Kirk Cousins to the falcons, and Zack Ertz to the commanders. FJerry Jeudy to the browns, and Derrick Henry to the Ravens. Finally, Sam Darnold to the vikings, and Tony Pollard to the Titans.

Pay the main guys and fill in roster, keep it simple. OL is gonna be very important again this year for sure, gotta protect Pat Left side.
Happy with the signing.
So people were saying that his makeshift security team was trying to be agents I guess they were very very good agents huh you see how the NFL try to down play those agents and the good job that they did Bravo agents of Chris Jones because you got that man paid no matter what people said about you the highest paid in his position so some people say those agents were crazy but they got the job done
Sometimes expensive just means expensive. Chris Jones isn’t over or underpaid. He’s just expensive.
I will feel better about the Jones deal when some decent WRs start showing up in free agency.
it is hard to draft/build another chris jones, but we can always build a corner or linebacker
Jones put up HOF career before getting the Big Deal! He Deserves it!
Congrats Chris Jones with success comes haters stay working hard bro
CJ's leadership cannot be overstated on top of his physicals skills. He's worth the money.
CJ deserve it he's the defensive equivalent of Pat Mahomes
I'd like to see an all black with red trim uniform and helmet one day
Happy for Chiefs and Chris Jones.
Great update Cole. As your updates normally are I find them timely, informative and entertaining. Ha ha even your promotional spots are entertaining.
I can’t believe Townsend is gone 😮
😢
Me neither he always did right by the team.
Yea that's crazy but it's a business and this araiza kid is LEGIT that scandal messed him up
@@Charles-3900we will see. if ariza works hard his ceiling is definitely high, could be a huge contributor for the chiefs

Chris Jones is to the defense what Mahomes is to the offense. And I don’t think ONE person has complained about his money!
Brett Veach gets paid a lot of money to make these decisions and he’s been right on for years. I’ll go with Brett any day over Monday Morning Experts.
Im happy they resigned Chris Jones because he is just as important to our Defense as is Mahomes to our Offense...Lets Go Chieeefffssss
Def happy.. Hopefully he stays healthy he earned it if anyone ever did
They didn’t want to go with we made them an offer they couldn’t refuse?? Given their mafioso looks.
It's a LOT of money 'but" Chris Jones appears to be a God loving decent man so more power to him and I don't want to hear a peep out of any idiots that trash this great country where "anybody" that uses the talents given by God can do so well.
Whoever is complaining about him getting that money is a complete casual. He’s done everything and has been a game changer when needed. So glad he’s staying.
Look sometimes it's worth paying a little extra money than maybe you should in order to keep a weapon like Jones out of the hands of another team. I think it was a smart move and when we win that 3. Pete I'm sure everybody will be happy about it.
There are 2 types of free agents. Those you overpay for and those someone else overpays for. That being said I’m glad KC stepped up a signed Jones, seeing him in another jersey would have been a travesty
Yeah sell the future of mahomes to one guy. Jones says he wants to retire as a chief, but obviously didn't move a tiny bit into Veachs direction since last year and chiefs had to make him the highest paid. Don't need a greedy mf who leaves the team alone if he doesn't get his money. I will never forget him this. Definitely overpaid, 1 or 2 years ago everyone said that chiefs are not so stupid to pay him aaron donald money, now he gets it and the fanboys still cheer for it.
I got to see a sb win in my life, that would be enough to get key players paid… but three sb??? Bruh.. overdue
I'm just pleased that Chris is with the team and no more offseason drama and uncertainty.
I want Chris to focus forward and stay as healthy as possible.
Based on the logic you laid out regarding Chris Jones, it makes sense. He would have gotten more outside of KC and we don't want him going to the hated Raiders. Gross!
Love Jones! But over paid him and now we will not be able spend on a top receiver. Wish we paid Mike Evans instead which would have cost less and Jones would have made his top money somewhere else, which he deserves.
Restructuring Thuney and Mahomes might buy us some time with Sneed.
If we put it majority in a signing bonus I do feel like there is a world where we can keep Snead I'm not saying he's not worth the pic but I'm not really saying he is we keep him and just figure it out with the pics that we have
A football team has to have a great defense. A strong offense without a great defense loses games. In the last SB, the 49ers and the Chiefs both had great defenses and it was going to come down to which team had the better defense. The Chiefs had the better defense which led to the game winning TD. The Chiefs need a WR or TE and Travis will be teaching that person or two everything he knows. So they get the best of Travis before he retires which may or may not be in 2 years.
Anyone who thinks this was an overpay is not thinking logically. These guys deserve the payday I always say I’d rather the players get the money than the owners keeping it.
Trey Wingo is right. I've seen too many plays where it was 6 for the opponent if Jones had not been in the QBs face.
I’m glad they resigned CJ. We keep him for his abilities and his leadership.
Love this deal!
