Can’t believe Chris Jones is only 29

I didn’t really have an opinion on kelce til now other than **** him cuz he’s a chef but seriously, **** Travis kelce

Watch the actual pod. It was mostly a bit.

But also, what Chris is doing doesn't make a lot of sense. Every game he holds out a) costs him over $1M and b) drops his franchise tag # for next year, which is currently at 120% of his $28M cap hit this year. As is the Chiefs really can't tag him next year. If he holds out until week 8, as he's threatened to do, his tag suddenly becomes very affordable.

His agent has Chris Jones and a bunch of guys you've barely heard of. A lot of people are questioning his tactics here. I think the best case scenario for Jones is the Chiefs start out 1-3 with clear deficiencies in the D-line. And even then I'm not sure they'd cave. They're trying to build a team of players willing to take home-town discounts for rings. If they overpay one player, they lose all leverage on that.

Jones isn't worth Aaron Donald money, which is apparently what he's asking for. The Rams overpaid for Donald and it's killing them. Big difference between 3rd contract and 2nd contract. Jones has been an all-pro 2 years and a very good player a bunch more. Donald was all-pro for 8 years in a row or whatever and has a case for all-time defensive player Mt. Rushmore. Jones as good as he is, doesn't sniff that.

Jones might command that kind of money if he was on the open market right now, but he's not. He's about to turn 30, when D tackles generally fall off a cliff. I suspect he understands this and is trying to use any leverage he has. But the Chiefs hold most of the cards here. Veach isn't going to cave and give him a Donald contract. They'll just let him walk.

Apparently Proud Boy and the 9ers are standing off over 4 million per

Like Jesus **** you idiots

especially when his other friends are getting 17 year deals

HAHAHAHA

Just wait until some of them start getting the franchise tag for how they've played in their new stadium!

seat issues, endzone section

So this team is just completely incapable of doing anything correctly right?

Also leave it to the ****ing bills to finally get a new stadium and have it look like a pulsating anus

Big ups on having your team’s entire existence be more pointless and traumatic than the Vietnam war

A stadium only going over by 25% is actually a big win. The Rams stadium cost double the estimate

Ya well **** the rams too

The stadium will not have a dome, but it will include stacked seating and a canopy overhang to protect fans from the elements.

----------------------------------------

I truly do not get the point of having a new (!) stadium in Buffalo without making it with a dome.

With the global warming, it'll be 50 degrees in Buffalo in Decembers soon. Waste of money iyam.

really? it would go against the entire persona of the city

No one should have to play in blizzard like conditions.

Very Krafty!

^^ Oops, got NE and Buffalo confused. Almost twins, they are.

Excellent example of avoiding results oriented thinking!

Absolutely everybody reading or posting in this thread should join NFL Swami and make picks with us all season!

And if you don't want to have to make picks every week, you should make an entry in NFL PEEHS!

You fill out your entry once, this week, and get to enjoy the reveals all season long. I promise it's lots of fun!

Cowboys RT Terence Steele 5/86/50

I've never heard of him so I can't comment on value!

Undrafted FA out of Texas Tech. Solid performer that consistently moved up the depth chart. It's a good thing when O-line starters aren't household names. That means they're doing their job.

Talking heads on DFW radio seem to think it's a little too high, but as contracts go in the NFL, in 3 years it'll be a bargain if he stays healthy.

Is this also going to be the Weekly thread, or will we have individual threads?

this has never been the weekly thread in the past.

guessing it's up to someone...potentially a new guy here, to launch a weekly one

What?
