It's more symbolic than it is punitive. It's a very LOUD indicator that our patience is tapped.
Since we're evidently doing this in the media now, there's some risk of PR blowback. That said, Jones and his people pretty obviously rooting against the Chiefs at this point can't be engendering them many fans either.
Taking it off the table altogether is scorched earth an punitive. But in a tense negotiation where you're at stalemate, a bop on the nose with a number that doesn't really mean anything can sometimes shake some cobwebs loose IF the parties aren't really looking to go to showdown.
And if they are - well as you noted, a deal wasn't getting done anyway.
It's just another small effort to break something loose.

Listening to Andy.....I don't think there's a deal here to be made anymore.
That ship has sailed.
Dude decided to try to wreck Andy's coup de grace of a back to back SB. I can't imagine that's been well receieved.
