The Chiefs are not a team you need to play hardball with.
But Jones and his team had to try to have their cake (the big deal they want) and eat it too (stay on the Chiefs).
Choose one.
Stay with the Chiefs on a deal that IS huge and pats you like you claimed you wanted.
Or get more than Aaron Donald on your new years.

It's the Money or Legacy line of thinking Tyreek employed - on one hand, Hill made 30 mil last year and lived on South Beach. On the other hand, Hill and his team were bounced in the wild card round and watched the team that drafted him with their generational QB win another championship and enter the conversation of being the next dynasty team.
So far, Jones seems to be choosing poorly when placed in the same scenario, because I think our GM has shown he's not shy about ultimately doing right by the team in these situations of contract talks for superstars. We'll see.
