For me, it's Chris Jones.
Gimme that force in the middle.

Madabuike for me. Best pass rushing DT last year. Younger and more upside and it would be awesome to steal him off a Division rival.

I can see the upside in Madubuike over Chris Jones but Jones has the certainty.
75.5 sacks in 8 years for CJ. That's ~9.5 sacks average a season.
And CJ is not showing signs of decline yet, putting up 26.0 sacks the past two seasons (another 2.5 in the playoffs as well).

I’ll take any of:
Chris Jones
Justin Madubuike
Josh Allen
L’Jarius Sneed
Christian Wilkins
Brian Burns
Danielle Hunter
Adding one of these impact players really opens up the draft and can help change the defense.

I would go with Chris Jones too because it also changes things for the Chiefs
- BUT -
It would be interesting to have TEE stay & Boyd go but then be able to get Wide Receiver Mike Evans to replace Boyd.
Burrow would have the options of Chase, Evans & TEE then which one of them gets single covered or has a linebacker
trying to cover them.

All true, plus Chris Jones played much better in the Playoffs this year and the SB than he has in the past which honestly was my only criticism
of the guy. Great player that would help us a ton even if he is pushing 30 years old.

Imagine stealing Chris Jones and L'Jarius Sneed from the Chiefs. That would make my day!

Mike Evans would be a most definite upgrade over Boyd. Would absolutely love that WR core.
Good luck slowing those guys down.
Evans size and speed to go along with Tee's size and range with Chase and his balance, speed and strength?

Good one, he would cost a ton but he would be worth it and the question was if money didn't matter....

I get he's not lived up to his potential yet, but I'd go with Chase Young

DE Josh Allen
Pair his 17.5 sacks with Hendrickson's 17.5 sacks.

Honorable mention to S Antoine Winfield, would move Dax focus on being a slot/safety hybrid type player. Cover TEs and spy athletic QBs.

Antonie Winfield Jr- consistent, young, and plays a major position of need.
Chris Jones would be 30, Christian Wilkins is 29, and Madubuike only has one year of great year of football on his resume. Plus it's a deep draft class this year at 3T. With that being said I would sign any of those guys but your asking me to nitpick here!

Winflield and Battle would be nasty and allow us to move Dax to the nickel.

He was fantastic against us in the AFC Championship last year.
2 sacks
10 pressures
5 QB hits

There's more than money keeping us from signing Chris Jones:

Quote:The Chiefs picked up the option on Jones' contract, meaning they'll retain the right to franchise tag him this offseason, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Friday, per sources.

Assuming "if money did not matter" means we can sign them for vet minimum, then I propose:
- sign the best FA QB which is... umm... err... Kirk Cousins? (ok, this plan is already looking dodgy, but bear with me as it gets worse)
- trade Joe Bu... trade Joe Bur... nope I can't even type it. But you get the idea. Should bring an absolute haul of picks (3-4x #1s? Maybe more?)
- use the freed-up cap space to sign all the other FAs that have been mentioned in this thread!

Well Jones being off the board makes it easy for me. I'd say Madabuike as well.
First choice being Tee.

Is there anything to the idea that Chris Jones plays in a weaker division? Denver and LA Chargers both have problems with their Oline.
