I find it hard to believe its Veach. I have to assume he laid out his deal, refused to give CJ the moon, and when CJ and his agent continued with this staring contest and knowing he couldn't trade him now, he started plugging holes at DT with how dire the situation was looking.

I'd be pretty disappointed if he's caving, but I doubt he is.

Don't really give a **** if he caved or not. Not my job to balance the books. I'll just assume they know what they're doing.

Yeah, it's got to be Jones and company that's backpedaling. If Vearch was going to cave he would've done it sooner.

The conversation:

Beach: Hey, Chris, guess whose already ridiculously high salary ain't counting against our cap this year.

Chris: ....wait...how

Bert: Not only THAT, but this fat **** ain't getting paid neither. But the BEST part

Chris: Don't

Brad: Is that every moment he isn't here? You feel me? Every game he misses? It impacts his salary...SIGNIFICANTLY...NEXT SEASON! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Chris:...

Chris: I gotta make a call....

See below:

I guess his agents saw this as 'no harm, no foul' until they didn't anymore.

Maybe CJ wasn't exactly 'ride or die' on this one. "I'll eat a LITTLE shit here, fellas - but I'm not torching a million bucks every 7 days...."

I'm just picturing Jones patting his agent on the head and telling him, "at least we tried"

LMAO

He just posted this

That's the way I see it.

I don’t know - aside from, “There’s been no communication,” this sounds like the bare minimum that Veach should be saying at this stage to stop the what-the-**** train from hurdling forward at full speed.

I’d like to be optimistic but this doesn’t move the needle much for me. Hope I’m wrong.

Right about what? Who should we place blame on?

Oh hell, I'll throw a bluesky theory out there.


CJ's agent started this whole fiasco. Talked CJ into going along with it initially.

Then last week, maybe even as late as last Friday, Cj sees the writing on the wall, understands Veach well enough to realize that he's in a lose-lose situation, and calls his agent and tells him the holdout is over. Just takes the reins from him and tells him to go back to Veach and make a deal both sides can live with.

Agent tucks his tail between his legs and now here we are.

OMG is that him saying he’s gonna put on a Chiefs uniform and report?

Or OMG he’s sitting in that picture away from everyone else - is that his sitting out?!

Katz over a Gates Mixed Plate: we need 32

Beach: best I can do is Justyn Ross on the 53

Katz: I see you've come to dance, we'll be in touch

can confirm he will be playing for the Chiefs in Las Vegas at the end of this season as DPOY in the SB
