Would you rather. FA edition.

You can only choose one of the following free agent moves. Which one do you prefer.

1- LB Ernest Jones for 4 years 50 million with 20 million guaranteed.

or

2- OG Trey Smith for 5 years 105 million with 30 million guaranteed

Both are 25 years old I believe.

 

[James in PA]

Smith. Do whatever it takes. Reset the market (but we won't).

 

[Rat]

Smith.

Jones is going to cost way more than that though.

Trey Smith, a 6th rounder in 2021? Ummm, we drafted Stone Forsyth in the same round. Let's just say Stone ain't getting a $100 mil contract anytime soon.

We need new and better scouts!

 

[SoulfishHawk]

21 mil for a guard? Damn

 

[GetNjigbaWithIt]

Jones.

That's why we won't do it. Schneider will go bargain hunting once again and hope that something sticks. Rinse and repeat.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Maybe, maybe not. We're not talking about the Mariners here. The actually care about winning.

To be fair, in this case everybody already knew Smith was good but he had a serious medical condition. That's what caused him to fall in the draft.

But I don't disagree with your point. Better scouting is needed for sure.

 

[Shane Falco]

Jones. You can't subtract a good thing to try and fix a bad thing. Sure would love to have Smith though.

 

[Rat]

I'm skeptical that Smith will actually become available. He's really the Chiefs only viable franchise tag candidate.

 

[LeveeBreak]

Jones needs to be here next year or the D declines to 2024 weeks 5-10. We have more than 1 OL "opportunity" to address before we can sustain a competetive product. Sinking that much into a single spot doesn't get us where we need to be.

 

[soxhawk]

Ownership has a strong front office, but they're also looking to sell the team so I'm not sure how focused they are on winning. Definitely not mailing it in though

 

[Ozzy]

I think for me its Jones but its a tough one. I just think we saw some growth from the guards late in the year so I would pray we could get at least one in the draft who could come in and start and one of the other 3 step up. Jones holds the defense together.

 

[Shane Falco]

Smith would be worth the money imo. I just don't want to lose Jones because of it, that was the question.

IMO, the money should go to trenches outside of a franchise QB.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Jones, proven guy, team leader, beast.

 

[Wsumatt1982]

Jones, it's a no-brainer. We KNOW he works in Mike's system. Smith is a great player but that doesn't mean he will work out. Plus with what's available it should be easier to find a guard either in FA or draft than it is an off ball linebacker. With that said, I choose option C and want both.

Schneider would need to walk around with bodyguards everywhere if he said something like that.

Very true, people did take his words of what he said about Guards last year completely out of context

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Nah, Schneider is the new Satan. First it was Russ, then it was DK, now it's Schneider.
