Most of those guys know their money will be elsewhere when their contract ends.

Veach isn't going to offer more. Jones has to know this by now.

Jones will never recoup the $ he loses from missing 8 games. It will also hurt his future contract $ regardless of who he plays for. So in his own self interest, he should sign. But apparently it is a pride thing.

So miss 8 games this year, then cap and trade during the off season, or a trade up against the trade deadline (the Chiefs have little incentive to trade earlier, unless someone offers them a great deal, which would have happened already) seem to be the most obvious outcomes.

So most probably:
Chiefs lose Chris Jones
Chris Jones has lower career earnings
Chris Jones has lower career productivity
Agent gets paid less


Who exactly is winning in this situation?

Pride? I guess?

I’ve been pissed off about losing FAR smaller sums of money than Jones is. I can’t even imagine.

Only thing I can think of is maybe Cris made some good investments that hit and he is making money hand over fist outside of football. Maybe why he says he can weather the 8 game loss of pay.

Pride is the exact answer, him and his agent are crying over the fact that the Chiefs aren't offering more, as if he currently isn't on a contract. I think the strategy behind holding out till week 8 is to possibly be traded to another team who can pay the amount he wants.

I'm going to bed if Chris doesn't extend soon!

No one. Jones will report the day after the opener.

Stupid, pedantic move to hold out a reg. season game as a hail mary.

I don’t think so.

He’s pot committed at this point.

I'm sorry you're sad that Andy Reid has lost more post season games he was favored to win than any other coach in Nfl history. I'm sorry you're sad when anyone brings up the amount of hardware Andy Reid should have if he were as great as the revisionists make him out to be.

10 title games. 2 rings. Grab a tissue. Cry it out. Andy without Patrick Mahomes never got it done. Philly couldn't wait to get rid of him and a good portion of this board never wanted him, so act as if Andy was some legend before 15 all you like. The facts show otherwise.

As for your bet, again, there's no point. I average less than 1 post per day over a 19 year membership. I read much, much more than I post.

And as I said, why would I rob myself of a month of your hilarious posts? People need a good laugh. You shoukd actually post more.

I've already called my shot here. 5 tds and 2fgs, 41-20 or 38-20 if Butker shanks one.

I think that covers your spread that you value so much, and should certainly count as a win in Megatron's book requiring double digit margins to qualify as actual wins.

Fir someone so confident we will win, using phrases like dramatic win, and "if we can manage to pull it out" suggests you think otherwise.

This isn't gonna be a game, TwistedPanties. It's gonna be a message. First to Chris Jones and his reeruned agent, and then the rest of the league.

We're back, we're better, and we don't need Chris Jones to roll over whoever is put in front of us.

Not worried Chris is going to hate himself if he miss opening night.

Gonna hate his agent more lmao.

Tonight I got Chris' number from a guy who gives handjobs in the Kemper Arena parking lot. I said "hey man, you gonna play this week?" He said "who the ****'s this?"

I don't appreciate swearing so I said "**** YOU FAT JONES, I HOPE YOU GET DIABETES AND LOSE A TOE YOU GREEDY BITCH." There was a pause and then he went "reeeeeeeeeeeee" and I heard what sounded like him slapping his meat.

It doesn't look good. From the way he was panting I doubt he's even in football shape.

They say they're $10 mil apart on a multi year contract. Simple math here...

-Jones has racked up $2 mil in fines.
-Average missed game fine for Jones will be $1 mil.
-Jones is threatening to hold out until week 8

Sooo...

8 x 1 + 2 -10 = 0

Holding out until week nets a gain of a goose egg boys even if he gets what he wants! As several have mentioned before me he's recieving some terrible advice. In fact he could end up losing millions playing poker with Veach. Look no further than Orlando Brown for for reference.

Veach holds all the cards here and I hope Chris hasn't fooled himself believing otherwise. Don't meas with the Wizard.

LMAO

Well played
