I don’t think he deserves all this vitriol yet. But that can change.

I don't know. I think we've already passed into the stage where CJ and his camp realize the only leverage they really have is for Chris Jones to be a disgruntled employee. All we are asking him to do is play out his last year on his contract (and be extremely well compensated) and then he can go seek the few extra mill per year the Chiefs weren't offering. That's not good enough for him, evidently.
It's clear Veach thinks his contract demands would not work well within the salary cap constraints. It shouldn't really very hard for CJ to understand. So he reports, plays this year, and leaves. It's already unlikely he'd be 100% for week 1 if he reports today.
