Doesn't sound like Jones showed up today. Thought he might with TC over but maybe he is waiting until the week before, who knows though.

Have you been outside today?

There isn't a ball powder on the planet that can tame this shit.

Yeah it is brutal. Apparently they practiced indoors today but Reid had them turn off the A/C. Dude is hardcore lol

Chris Jones is not acting rationally. It's the most concerning thing about all of this to me. We all assume he'll play the season because he wants his $20M, but with somebody who isn't acting rationally, who can say for sure?

Not much time left before the season starts. If he doesn't show this week he may not play week 1. He's being a damn moron.

Uh if he misses real games he'll do nothing but cost himself tons and tons of money...

All the fines etc would cut his yearly salary and then he would not get a big FA deal either.

Agreed. It would be irrational. Just like holding out and costing yourself millions in fines instead of holding in and getting all your money is irrational.

Yea, I'm not going to predict how he is going to react. But I am with you that at this point, I'm not all-in that he is going to be financially rational.

He's not in danger of starving on the street.

Pride, stubbornness or whatever you want to call it can sometimes win out.

He’s going to play, I do wonder how motivated and the amount of “business decisions” plays/games we see.

His effort will not be the same if he does play.

Doesn’t seem like CJ has a coherent end game strategy with his hold out.

That wouldn't work out well for him and getting the next contract.

Not playing well would be detrimental to him getting more money on the next contract.

Seems unwise.

Especially at his age.

He’d either come off as unmotivated or declining. Neither is a positive when you want another big contract.

Yeah man, this is finally starting to look pretty grim

Dude needs to pull his head out of his fifth point of contact
