I'm not going to knee-jerkingly say "fuck him" and move on.
Jones has been awesome for us. Regardless of whether these hold-outs happen to the Broncos or the Chiefs, I'm always on the side of players getting their money. The sport is ruthless both on the field and on the business side, and with the majority of players having a minuscule window on when to cash-in: I'm all for these hold-out tactics.
That said, Mahomes comes first, second, and third while everything else comes afterwards.
I don't think the deal Jones' wants is going to be fulfilled by the Chiefs.
Thanks for the ring and good luck elsewhere, Chris.
Called it long ago. He won't play on the tag. Won't get the deal he wants either. Nobody is giving him 21 mil per year. Colts ****ed this up for us wasting big money on Buckner.

The dude's been the epitome of a team player and has done all the right things. Pay. Him.
Dan Sorenson did more postseason to help the team than Chris Jones did.

Being a pro athlete is a full time job but I wouldn't mind making 1.25 million per month either. That's still pretty a pretty good paycheck either way.

You’re telling me that when you were in your prime of jacking off hogs for a living that you never held out until the right hog farm was willing to pay you top dollar for your skills. I don’t believe it!
There is a real chance the season - if there is one - is retarded by the virus...the cap certainly will be. I think these guys w/o contracts are in a strange position.

I’m confident Veach will do his due diligence but I don’t think he’ll get suckered into a bad contract that anchors the team down.
