Unless im taking it wrong, "He'll settle for something reasonable" seems like a jab at CJ and means he should take less than hes worth. I don't have any insider info, but I think Jones is wanting FC's contract or maybe just a little more and that seems very reasonable to me.
You have to be joking with the hometown discount thing. This thread alone is littered with people saying he should take less to stay and turn those millions into titles! Fuck that. Maybe they should have given him an extension last year before they got Frank and we would have gotten him for a little less. Probably could have gotten him for $18.5-$19mil/year instead of $21 mil/year.
Personally I’m glad we traded for Frank and won a Super Bowl.

If they had extended Jones before last season he almost certainly would have counted more against the cap than he did. That might have precluded them from adding someone like Breeland, and their cap would be a LOT less flexible now.

I dont know if that's necessarily true though. He would have still been playing on his rookie deal and his cap hit would have stayed the same just like with Pat. This year would have been the beginning of his new deal and more than likely would have had a low cap hit in the 1st year. Signing him before Frank Clarks deal happened and Buckners deal would have saved us a couple mil a year, but now he can take Clarks deal and the 1st and 3rd rounder we gave up and Buckners deal and the high 1st rounder the Colts gave up for him and use those to drive up his price. He knows a team would pay him more than those 2 got and he's not taking any less. I'd do the same thing.

It takes two sides to make a deal work out. It may not be all Veach. Gotta fit the Chiefs going forward too.
