It's a metric ****ing ton of money.
I wonder - has there been any news on a possible Jonathan Allen extension? Because wouldn't it seem likely that Jones and his camp would want to wait until after a possible Allen extension to plant their flag?
The rumors are that Jones isn't looking for Donald money, right? Well he most certainly doesn't want to be making less than Allen.
Now maybe an Allen deal isn't on the table. It might not be with Washington signing Payne. But he has zero guarantees past this season so I'd be surprised if his agent hasn't approached Washington about possibly getting that remedied and in the process adding another year or two to the back end. And if the Washington ownership situation is in flux, maybe that's just going to be back-burnered until it isn't?
If I'm betting, I'd say it's that Jones and his reps are waiting on an extension to come down the pipe from somewhere and looking to set that as the baseline. Though again, that's all presuming that the 'we aren't looking to make more than Donald' rumors are true.
If they AREN'T and he wants Donald money, then there are probably hard conversations being had at several different levels.
