Jones will make a ton of money this offseason after rightfully suffering the shortfall of a contract extension (and finally agreeing to a one-year deal). And while General Manager Brett Veach recently said signing Jones was “at the top of the list,” it probably won’t be that easy.
We’re talking north of $25 million for Jones, which is about $10 million more than the Chiefs have available in cap space. Now is the time for Jones, who turns 30 in July, to cash in on the challenger, and I can’t think of a better fit than Houston, where the Texans play C.J. With the luxury of Stroud’s rookie contract.
Much of Houston’s offense will remain intact through 2024, except for some room for improvement at running back and tight ends (could Dalton Schultz return?), so if the Texans are going to use some of the available $67 million, why not bolster the group . what already went well with Maliek Collins and free agent Sheldon Rankins? Jones is a monster who played a direct role in helping the Chiefs to another title and could have a similar impact on DeMeco Ryans defense in Houston. Let’s make that dream come true.The Kansas City Chiefs brought their entire scouting staff and a slew of coaches to town on Monday. But by Thursday afternoon, before the first 40 yards were moved, the Chiefs were gone, except for a few guys left to do drills at the combine.
