I have no dislike for him at all for the holdout. I completely understand why he is doing it and I probably would if I was in his shoes as well. Can't blame him for not risking injury as he is trying to get one final big contract.

He’s under contract, honor it. Don’t handcuff the team because you want another contract and are unwilling to wait until the current ends. IMO the punishment should be harsher to this kind of behavior.

I understand what you are saying, but holding out to avoid injury is really the only leverage they have.

It's just business. I don't have any emotion one way or the other about this stuff. I really want him back because he's uber talented, but we can't place the team in a hole with a bad contract. I hope a deal gets worked out, but if not, we'll be fine.

Didn't Clark also sign one? Did KC honor the full extent of it? Why is it that players are obligated to honor the contract they sign, but teams are not? What security does Jones have after this year? Let's say he suffers a season ending injury, do you think KC resigns him to a nice contract?

Teams break contracts all the time. They should honor them if the player have to.

He's just missing training camp/preseason stuff, who cares... it's only bullshit if he comes back week 1 and he Frank Clarks it for weeks.
NFL contracts aren't guaranteed overall, so it doesn't really bother me... players get cut all the time and are out the non-guaranteed money and he's apparently facing fines upwards of a million dollars and would lose game checks later. Seems fine. ![]()

What are guys even talking about????
It’s IN THE CONTRACT he signs that a team can cut him at any time and only pay the guaranteed money…….it’s written IN THE CONTRACT. How are teams not honoring the contracts? Haha |
