Jones has a ton of leverage right now

Smart for him to use it financially

Would it be worth it to you to pay $50,000/day to miss a few days of tedious training camp if you are making Chris Jones-type money?

Especially if you are in a situation where your team mates aren’t going to think negatively towards your absence since it is viewed as a legitimate part of the business process of getting a new contract.

I’d do that in a heartbeat.

I was never convinced he would get another large deal from us. We have got his best. Doubt he ever does better but wants more money.
Is he really going to sit out and lose 20 mil?

Sounds like you’re cool with him ****ing over my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs.

He can **** off to HoboSpirit Land for all I care.

I know this is a bit off the topic but the NFL numbers blow my mind. 6 Bil for the Washington Redskins Commanders. PM signing a half a bil contract which will probably be 1 bil. by the time he retires. Chris Jones probably looking for north of 30 mil per year. I know we have had some inflation the past several years but I fail to see how any of this is sustainable.

Because rich people keep getting richer.

Do you even America, bro??

Well Yes, Yes I do. Still gives me cause for pause.............

That’s Andy for “pretty pissed off”

I'm not convinced either.

I'm in the school that's it better to get rid of players too soon than too late.

The problem is that Jones IS such a huge part of the defense.

Could he live up to another big contract. Absolutely. But over paying or having one really big contract go south can really set you back.

I'm glad I'm not VB.

What leverage does he have? He's under contract, and it's already cost him 100k to miss two days. 50k per day adds up quickly. Additionally, if he misses a preseason game, he will be fined 1/18th of his salary per preseason game. NFL teams are no longer allowed to forgive these fines.

This won't last long. He has little to no leverage.

I'd permit him to seek a trade if he is unwilling to lower his demands or play under the current contract.
