So far this whole thing reads to me the same as it did last year. Chris Jones says he wants to stay and gives a big speech at the parade, and Chiefs say they are optimistic, but then nothing gets done. And then Chris Jones trolls on Twitter, which I believe he does because he thinks it puts fan pressure on Veach to meet his demands, and then that has no effect. Rinse, repeat. Right now I do not believe anything will get done. There's no franchise tag or final contract year leverage for the Chiefs, and I doubt that Chris Jones has changed his attitude about what he wants that much since last offseason. Not mad at him about it, he was crucial to all 3 Super Bowl wins so I'll love him forever.
