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?
