Yeah, I'd say if he's not in here pretty quickly he's not playing the first couple weeks. Andy is pretty cautious with that kinda thing.

Which....just ****........This situation has gotten pretty ****ed. I'm really surprised we got to this point.

He doesn't miss game checks if he has reported but is not playing because he isn't in shape or the team isn't ready to play him.

We're also not exactly in a weak conference here. A couple dropped games early in the season can make this pretty tough.

They needed to have this whole thing done a while ago.

Why?

All it takes is a player demanding to basically be paid what Aaron Donald is being paid for the team to be like uh that isn't exactly feasible for our team especially with your age and then you get a stalemate.

Well it does throw out the whole "Hold out of camp for money reasons" in other players eyes if he doesn't play in the first couple of games. Could have a lasting locker room issue going forward.

Easier said then done. If I were Bart Vatch, I wouldn't be selling the farm for a super fat contract, for a 30 year old DL. By doing so, it could really hamstring the team down the road.

How do you get it done if the player has financial demands you aren't willing to meet?

I don't mean by signing him.

I refuse to believe they were just told the # he wants in July/ August when camp started.

If they (Jones and agent) wanted Donald #, none of the other guys signing mattered. So the Chiefs likely knew his # a while ago. If you aren't gonna get to it, make a decision and move on.

Trade him before the draft.

It's possible they thought he was bluffing or decided they'll take the last year of the contract and walk after that instead of moving him early.

Yeah well they screwed it up if that was the play because he has called their bluff by not turning up at all

He'll turn up for real games, he has to much to lose not to.

I have no idea what the "magic number" is? Perhaps I missed it, but I haven't seen anything in stone, from a reliable source. The only thing I have seen, is a bunch a speculative twatter garbage.
At this point, I'm pretty disappointed in Jones for pulling this crap. He is after all, under contract.

We said that weeks ago - since then he has lost millions and seems relaxed about it.

Nothing about this has gone according to plan so far - why would it suddenly change.

He’s on the brink of being ruled out of the first couple of games already
