But there’s definitely a world where Veach feels CJ is asking for fair market value but just doesn’t see that expenditure making the most sense for the organization.

Sure, but is that the fair market value of a DT or a DE? Others have already listed several DEs that would rank higher than Jones if he is being compared to that position for contract value. I certainly understand if CJ and his agents wish to make their argument based on over all value as opposed to positional value, but that isn’t the winning argument for them they would hope it is, at least not in the eyes of the majority of franchises that hand out these contracts.
