I get why you want to just give in and hand Jones a blank check. As a GM have to look at it as all players/agents are looking at you. You give Jones a few extra million what do you think all other agents are going to yell about? Snowball effect Jones should be getting $24.5 million and not a penny more. Historically at the DT position the top players coming up for a new contract topped the market by $500k. Even Aarron Donald before his current contract that the Rams gave him. Jones should get $24.5 million to become the highest paid DT minus AD. Veach even giving him $26 or $27 would and should be considered over paying. At $30+ million is just beyond anything rational. The compromise would be the $24.5 Average with some incentive kickers on personal performance NOT team. Like 10 sacks he gets another million, 15 sacks he get another million. OR just give him $30+ million for the hell of it and get ready for more hold outs from every player wanting a new contract because Veach shows he will cave. Jones is asking for about 20% more than the highest paid DT not named AD atm. ATM the highest paid QB is Justin Herbert at an average of $52.5 MILLION. Now lets say Mahomes, who has been a team friendly player decides he wants a new contract and be paid 20% more than the highest guy. While just like Jones we would all agree Mahomes is the best and deserves to be the highest paid. $52.5M+20%=would be $63 Million. That would 100% cripple the team to make a HUGE 20% jump in position value. Rams are crippled from doing this with AD and Veach should not pay Jones 20% more than the "real" highest paid DT. $24.5 Million or bust VEACH!!!!! |

If we were desperate, maybe. Sacrifice now, go for a SB. But that's not us. We will still be competing for a SB as long as we have Mahomes/Reid/Kelce.

They're not tagging him next year at 33.5 million dollars, so unless he just sits out and brings that number down, it's kind of not worth talking about.
I would venture to say they think of him more of a guy that's not your normal DE and ages differently, but we shall see. |

By this same logic, we should pay Kadarious Toney a giant contract because his punt return won us the superbowl.

They lost me at "now they need to reward him". Put Greg Bishop on a long list of people who will never be a GM

At least if Jones ends his holdout, he can save face by saying something like "I made my point, I'm under contract, I want to play, I want to win back to back Super Bowls, we'll take care of this next year," etc. What would the Chiefs say? "We panicked." |

Some of you are forgetting in 2020 Jones said he would just not play when asked about this similar kind of situation and commented that LeVeon Bell had told him about this kind of situation. I am just not sold on the thought that he will do things differently than his friend LeVeon Bell.
