-- What the Chiefs Have Offered Chris Jones --
Sat Sep 2, 2023 --from FFMastermind.com

NBC Sports reports a source with knowledge of the situation, the Kansas City Chiefs have offered to replace the $19.5 million that holdout DT Chris Jones is due to earn in 2023 with $74 million over the next three years. Of that amount, $70 million would be guaranteed for injury, with a lower amount fully guaranteed. That’s an average of $24.67 million, and $7 million per year less than DT Aaron Donald's deal. Donald isn’t trying to get to Donald’s number. In fact, he’d split the difference. The midpoint between the team’s offer and the Donald deal is $28.17 million. In other words, instead of $95 million over three years (the Donald deal), Jones would take $84.5 million over three. The Chiefs, again, are at $74 million over three years. The problem for Jones has been the cluster of contracts signed by defensive tackles this offseason in the range of $22.5 million to $23.5 million.

-- Chiefs WR Watch - Ross & Rice Impress --
Thu Jul 27, 2023 --from FFMastermind.com

The Athletic reports during the first full-team Kansas City Chiefs practice, the first major mover on the depth chart was WR Justyn Ross. Just minutes after WR Kadarius Toney (knee) sustained his knee injury, Ross was selected by the coaching staff to receive first-team repetitions, a very encouraging sign for his development. The best moment for Ross on Wednesday came when he was when he made a one-handed catch from QB Patrick Mahomes near the sideline against tight coverage. “He’s a bigger receiver, but when you watch him, he really excels at route running,” OC Matt Nagy said of Ross. “He’s learning his timing, for Pat to understand how he runs routes. It’s going to be immense growth for him, in a good way.” Since Toney’s injury, rookie WR Rashee Rice is the receiver who has received the most reps with the first-team offense. Rice appears to be making fewer mistakes with each passing day, and his catching ability, whether with routine passes, fastballs between multiple defenders or perfect passes from Mahomes just over the outstretched arms of a defender, has been splendid.
