All current news aside, the Florio report doesn't change anything re: the situation and who has leverage.

Jones wants to hold out 2-3 weeks or up to 7 weeks if the Chiefs don't give him a deal?

Cook. Hook em. The Chiefs will use the salary cap savings to bandaid the DL with another vet who is currently available (Dunlap; Ioannidis; Hicks; Wormley) and then use the reduced 2023 salary to franchise tag Jones for 2024.

Congrats. Not only did you cost yourself somewhere between 5 and 10M in earnings on your age 29 season, you cost yourself money on your age 30 season, too, and reduced the size of your overall deal.

There's not a move he can make that actually increases his payout and makes up for the potential earnings losses if he holds out into the season.
