You think Chris Jones himself needs to come to town and meet face to face to have contract negotiations? You think most difficult negotiations take place with the player in the room with his agent and the GM?

Obviously we don't actually know where CJ was or is. But the fact that his agent was in town suggests that he was there to talk to Veach. No other reason to be there. i mean, can you think of a legit reasonable purpose for his agent to be in KC this weekend, besides talking to Veach?

There's that of course. Probably they don't need Chris in the room. Don't they (the agents) normally just call the player in question with the news? I mean league-wide.

Well I bet it was fun for his agent to show up to be told in person that they aren't getting Donald money.
All this really comes down to is does Jones do what every other play would and show up and play out the year to hit FA next year or does he handle this like a complete idiot. |

Lol, I admit I've travelled to KC just for the BBQ before. Back when I still lived in the Mid-West.

To me this would seem an obvious case of difficult negotiations where having the player - who feels he’s being undervalued by the organization - at arms length from the team would be beneficial. This is how and why agents make their money.

Veach showed CJ's agent on the Arrowhead jumbotron in big bold letters: NO TEAM IS GIVING YOUR CLIENT AARON DONALD $$$

Can someone put out the DoucheBat signal and summon DJBILL?
We all could use some explanation for what’s going on with CJ, even if it’s completely made up by an internet sociopath. |

I thought that they typically gave you bad news over the phone? His agent being town tells me that there's still negotiating to do.

I don't ever recall him being out in front of a story. It's always after some details have (allegedly) emerged and he "fills in the gaps."
