It's not that simple. If you sign Jones for $31 mill a year, it is hard to keep good young talent around him. If he defies the odds(and if anyone can, I think it would be him) and continues to play at a high level, it would be money well spent, but if he doesn't and becomes like 75% of those over 30 who decline quickly, it handicaps us greatly. Veach knows this, and its painful to make these choices, but he is mostly likely giving Jones a fair deal ($26-$27m/$70mil guaranteed) and he won't move from that... It's up to Jones to decide how this moves forward. It should be an easy decision for him, but pride seems to be getting in the way.
