They have exactly one piece of leverage, but it's mutually assured destruction.
Jones can sit out and lose nearly $30m this season. That's the only arrow in the Chiefs' quiver, but it devastates both sides for it to happen.
It's probably not enough to get Jones extended, he really does have us over a barrel.
It's probably enough to get him to play for this season, however.
If the Chiefs are smart, they tag him and trade him, Hill-style, afterwards. Because I can't see how they extend him.
I'd like to see Veach attack the DL next year. (But the top priority will probably be the LT position, unless Donovan Smith really is about to truly rebound.)
