What Jeffrey Simmons’ value teaches Chiefs about potential Chris Jones trade

KC Kingdom's Parker Buchele argues that the Tennessee Titans trading defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons to the Chicago Bears outlines what the Kansas City Chiefs might expect in a future Chris Jones trade. While Chicago gave up two first-round picks and a fourth-rounder for Simmons, Buchele contends that Kansas City should keep Jones through the 2026 season for their Super Bowl push rather than moving him before the deadline.

Looking beyond the current season, the writer suggests Kansas City should explore trading Jones due to his age and heavy salary cap hit. Noting that DeForest Buckner recently netted only a fourth-round selection, Buchele estimates that the Chiefs would realistically acquire a second- or third-round draft pick for Jones rather than a first-rounder.
