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.

On one hand, I understand what you're saying, but **** that.
He's holding out hoping that it will cost the Chiefs enough games to give into his demands. He's essentially holding the team hostage in the middle of the golden era of Chiefs football, and while I might not use the word "unethical", he can absolutely **** off for that.
And the fact that it's a dumb business move only makes it worse.
