Quote:
Why are Jones and the Chiefs at an impasse?
Taylor: The Chiefs are unwilling to make Jones the highest-paid player at his position. Jones, meanwhile, wants an extension that will pay him an annual salary of $30 million, making him the clear second-highest-paid defensive tackle. The Chiefs believe they have a good offer, one that would make Jones one of the highest-paid players at his position.
But Jones believes his talent and his value to the team last season — in which he produced career highs of 15 1/2 sacks and 29 quarterback hits — should make him worthy enough of his $30 million per season request. — Taylor

Don't think it's that complicated. Veach made him an offer. Probably around $27-28 million APY and Chris wants $30 million.
Andy said there's no communication. Well it sounds like Chris is willing to die on this hill and the Chiefs aren't going to budge from their offer.
