I'm not looking at this from his standpoint or what he can or cant' make in the future.

I'm looking at it from the Chiefs perspective. I don't think we're as good of a football team without Chris Jones as we are with him.

You understand if Chris Jones sits out 8 weeks he will literally tank any negotiating leverage he has with any team right?

Why would we give you a big guarantee Chris? You have shown all you care about is money, once we pay you are you going to try? Your history says your best years are contract years and then when a team didn't pay you, you sat out and pouted...

You are entering the decline years of your career after showing you don't love the game...

Jones would literally be lighting 10's of millions of dollars on fire by sitting out half the season.

Their perspective is probably, uh he's about to be 30 we can't pay him that without losing a ton of other guys...he realistically has to play out this year to get to FA so lets just use that last year and walk away and replace him.

The Chiefs in no way shape or form think Chris Jones is going to sit out games.

Obviously. But it's gotten to the point you can't really blame Veach for throwing his hands up and walking away. It's become quite apparent Jones and his agent are operating in pretty bad faith now.

Well of course not, but I don't see it as a deal breaker, pertaining to the season. It's not like it's Mahomes.

Don’t see why you assume he is suddenly going to start acting logically - that ship has probably sailed.

Realistically given the fact he will hit FA after the season he has shot both himself and the Chiefs in the head.

Probably so.

And you can't really fault them for not knowing that, but ****, it's why always waiting to deadlines can kill you.

A player that's almost 30 wanting Donald money isn't gonna get you a 1...you may have gotten a 2 and a 4.
