95 mill guaranteed… wow
Lots of DT’s have got big contracts but no one even close to the guaranteed money Jones just got.
He gets 95 mill in the first 3 seasons…
The specific details of the deal are still are being finalized, but Jones will sign a five-year deal in which all the money in the first three years - $95 million - is guaranteed. Once the contract is signed, Jones will have the highest-ever average annual salary for a defensive tackle.
Yeah I just didn’t see the Chiefs letting that dude go. He’s too pivotal of a player on their defense that can’t be replaced.

so clarification
Total money has not been released yet, its the highest ever for an NFL DT ever
so 95 mil of that contract is guaranteed
im guessing around 130 to 140 million total
I would have gave him that and more
Hunter, come on down!

Oh H E double hockeysticks NO! Tying up 12.5% of your cap in a 30 year old DT where age is not your friend? No. Chiefs are going to regret this contract and you can bookmark it if you want. Two years younger and it’s a different angle, but he’s too close to the cliff to be doing that.

I have covinced myself that this is going to happen.
According to some in Minnesota, Brad tried to trade for Hunter at the deadline, and Minnesota turned him down. If he was willing to give up draft capital for Hunter, it stands to reason that he would still want him for free.
Free, other than a huge contract, of course.

95 million Guaranteed
Will they be able to sign Sneed long term? Or even how do they keep him on the franchise tag after the Jones deal?
They have the money to sign Snead longterm. It just comes down to how much they value him, and if they WANT to sign him for the money he is asking for. But as far as fitting it under the cap, its not an issue.

This might be what Alim was waiting for. Man that is HEFTY.
If Alim expects a Chris Jones deal, I wish him well with his next team.

No, I meant that its a market-setter, a benchmark, not that he’d be paid anywhere near him.
