I will never hate on a player trying to get the most money he can, but I will certainly chuckle when it backfires on them if they overvalue their demand.

Now it may be petty - it isn't as though Katz did/didn't do anything specifically that would've set or re-set Jones market. Technically Katz isn't the reason Jones isn't getting what he wants (in all likelihood). But it's still just poor form by the agent. Your guy needs to know what he's facing and what he's gambling by planting a flag. And he needs to be fully apprised of what the upshot of planting said flag might be. Ultimately THAT'S where Katz likely failed. Presumably this was a strategy months in the making and in the process, Katz simply laid out a roadmap that wasn't up to date. And in the process he's likely created unnecessary tension between Jones and the front office. If not getting Jones money he was never going to get anyway isn't fireable, the unnecessarily caustic turn this thing has taken probably should be. Have fun in your next career as an insurance agent, my dude. You've gacked the hell out of this thing.

We know what the market for premier DTs is - it's been set multiple times this off-season. If teams aren't treating DTs like teams were treating WRs when wee traded Tyreek Hill, it suggests they aren't THAT gung-ho about acquiring them. If that's the case - why would a squad give up substantial draft capital to get Chris Jones and pay him a great deal of money?

His best bet is to stay here and still make an ungodly amount of money. |

Because I'd do it at this point. I'm just done with the circus.

I believe it is more likely than not he reports today. Just based on rational thinking and HIS own well being. He gains nothing by sitting out. Its quite puzzling that he thinks this would help.

Yeah, if the Chiefs have pulled the offer or Jones camp doesn't like it.....sitting out just wastes money. I don't get it.

Yeah, I think if he doesn't report today, we have likely passed the point of rational behavior and my odds of his legitimately sitting out multiple games goes up quite a lot.

What would help is if he shows up and balls the **** out. Sacking mofos left and right and gets off to a hot start.

Cards are tanking. They don't want any old expensive players.
It would likely be Chicago or.....I dunno. Maybe Carolina? |

Quinnen Williams didn't get his extension until mid to late July so he is saying they didn't offer anything since June? I don't believe that story.

Obviously, they are both complicit in failing to understand leverage. When they do the long math at the end of CJ's career, the chosen tact will surely yield the worst possible outcome. He's lost $2mm in fines, surely he lose endorsement opportunities, and it is likely that his quality of play in a contract year will wane, as is typically the case for players missing the entire pre-season. I think they misjudged the the age aspect and the fact he is STILL UNDER CONTRACT! Imho, he could have extended for 3 yrs at about 26-27/yr, won another SB, possibly gotten a gold jacket, and have been set for life in the NFL industry...that has all been possibly jeopardized by this foolish gambit.
