  Chris, let's get you out here with this NFL Chris Jones. Yesterday it
• 0:05
  was reported are two days several days ago. Now that the Chiefs have the
• 0:08
  option now to pick up Chris Jones in tagging with the get him paid the
• 0:12
  four point twenty five million he earned an incentives of course, then they'll get
• 0:15
  into the negotiation points. We'll tell you what I guess. The question is
• 0:19
  do they have the money? Do they have the cap space? When you
• 0:21
  talk about what they have to pay Patrick Mahomes, rightfully, so Chris Jones
• 0:25
  equally, he's going to demand a ton of money. He's going to get
• 0:30
  a lot of money. They can do it. They can extend Patrick Mahomes
• 0:37
  and Craig cap room. I think what's going to happen is they'll have the
• 0:42
  tag to use. He earned twenty two point seventy five and twenty three including
• 0:48
  incentives, and it's likely he's going to want a contract in that Aaron Donalds
• 0:53
  thirty one and a half million per year. They've got twenty two point six
• 0:57
  million in caproom. They can restructure a few contracts like Mahomes. They can
• 1:02
  put the tag on Jones at approximately twenty million. But I think they could
• 1:06
  also get a three year deal done with him, if not before the tag
• 1:11
  or after the tag at about twenty you know, five million a year.
• 1:15
  It maybe could be like a four year twenty eight per year. Uh,
• 1:19
  it could be in that range. I think he'll stay. I think what
• 1:25
  it what to me is gonna because I just I'd be shocked if he leaves.
• 1:29
  I think that they'll get that done. I think the guy that's in
• 1:32
  danger of losing is Lugerious sneath their outstanding corner because he's on a rookie contract,
• 1:40
  He's gonna get big money in the open market. Can they get steed
• 1:44
  and done as I think that's gonna be a bigger challenge, and it's gonna
• 1:49
  take a lot for them, and it's gonna be costly for them under the
• 1:52
  cap to get both done. But they're gonna they've got some some wiggle room
• 1:57
  to negotiate getting at least one of them done. And I think the priority
• 2:01
  is as always going to be the front guy more than the back guy,
• 2:05
  even though Sneed's a great corner. Make sure to find him on X for
• 2:07
  college and NFL coverage inside and outside the lines. Also Landry football dot Com

• 2:15
  a Monday next week. Enjoy you week and we'll talk next week. Hey,
• 2:17
  appreciate you. Take care,
