Of course I like that they're keeping him, but that's going to cost them someone else already on the roster. Probably L'Jarius Sneed at a minimum. It also probably means no "name" incoming FA's of note.

Is Derrick Ndaji still a Chief?

They do well in the draft with those cheap rookie contracts.

Nnadi, I believe is a free agent. Believe he ended the year on IR and was on a 1 year contract.

great signing, Jones is the 2nd most important Chief.

That's the trick for them. They absolutely have to hit with their draft picks as well as they're probably going to lose a handful of what I'd term "mid level veteran salaries".

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if Kelse gets released (note, I don't believe they WILL release him but it wouldn't surprise me either if they did). Might be a few other surprises tomorrow also.

They can only keep so many high priced guys when you have the huge salaries of Mahomes, now Jones, etc.

Mahomes will likely renegotiate his contract to make cap space. Chiefs will have plenty of cap space.

Seems a little steep. Time will tell

Trading Sneed was pretty much a foregone conclusion. Jones is only counting a little over $7M against the cap in 2024 with his new deal. Once they trade Sneed they'll have almost $20M in cap space. They're doing just fine salary cap wise.

Brett Veach is a magician. After 3 years cutting Jones will save the Chiefs a big cap number and the number is manageable for the first 3 years.
