So it looks like Jones has about $1.8-$2M in fines atm. If he doesn't report by tomorrow Veach can throw him on the roster exemption list and start to withhold game checks, even AFTER he decides to report!
I think this is important. This would allow Veach to say that Jones needs several weeks of practice before he can play, thus he won't be paid until Veach/Reid say he can.
Now of course we want to win SO its a double edge sword here BUT Veach could easily have a plan in place IF Jones doesn't report by tomorrow that they will keep him on the list for say 4 weeks or 5 weeks no matter what so that come 2024 offseason he is comfortable with the now $28ish in franchise tag cost($1.2M x 4 = $4.8M - $33M). OR Veach could say 3 games and plan for $30M in a franchise tag cap for 2024. You get it.
Just saying if Jones doesn't report by tomorrow Veach instantly gains full contract over Jones.
