Missing preseason games and training camp seems closer to stealing a grape at the grocery store than murder.

It’s written in his contract that he can do these things. It’s called stipulations. Similarly, the Chiefs could’ve cut CJ last year if he did something they didn’t like — there would just would’ve been a large dead cap hit as a penalty. |

I am inclined to believe that the chiefs wouldn't have balked at like 27 million aav. They didn't blink at guaranteeing him and paying top dollar three years ago. I bet the guarantee structure and real dollars of the deal in the final year is the point of contention, and that Jones' camp is treating it like an NBA contract. That's okay if it secures your client a bag, but the utility is lost if you can't get a deal done. Losing out on money now is generally a bad strategy for a career as shortlived as they are in the NFL. Anyway, I guess I just feel like the chiefs probably actually value CJ fairly and have already made their best offer. Take it or leave it bro. Chances are that you're not getting much better elsewhere.

If that's true I can see why Jones is holding out.

Hey Chris, that's how most of us hard working citizens feel too. We don't have the luxury of holding out and sitting home on the millions we already made. You signed a contract. Get your ass to work or the team will stop paying you. He shows up tomorrow and is ready to go in a week and a half then fine. If not, well your fans want to win now while the window is open. This team has a chance to go back to back. That's special. You're gonna throw that away for more money? Damn right some fans will get upset. |

My conjecture of what’s going on is that the Chiefs don’t think Team CJ has bargained in good faith, and have ever escalating demands.
It seems to me that the Chiefs behaved as if they had all but a verbal agreement about the major contract details. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
