I highly doubt that makes a difference regarding Jones' contract. What it most likely revolves around is guaranteed money and outs in the contract. If I'm Veach I have a huge contract on paper with outs in years 3-5 (or whatever the length would be). If I am Jones, I know this and want a ton guaranteed or a contract that makes him harder to cut as he ages. The Clark money is irrelevant to Jones' contract this year.
