There are loads of reasons to want Chris Jones traded - some of us have been saying it since last season. There are myriad ways he is dumb and continues to make dumb, limited thinking decisions based on myopic... I'll call it pride not greed.
But CJ holding out is nothing to be upset about. It's his right to not work and not get paid. He's being penalized for his actions. It's dumb not unethical.

The non-guaranteed contracts are part of a system that has been collectively bargained between the owners and the NFLPA.
If Chris Jones doesn't like the system, then he should take it up with his union.
Otherwise, under the current rules... agreed to by his union... he is in breach of his current employment contract.
