This gets done, likely before training camp. I get why he wants Frank Clark type money, you would too. Its all part of the process. If Carl Petersen was the GM I'd be nervous. Veach gets this done. I have no doubt.
Tyreek is the difficult one.
Hell I think I'd lock up Fuller while I'm at it if I'm Veach. I don't know what I'd do with Tyreek. That's a really difficult situation.

I agree. Jones is just doing what is in his best interest, positioning for the contract talks. You don't let a player like that get away, Veach will get it done.
Hill doesn't fit the mold of a guy you give a big money, long term deal to - he has obvious character issues and when he loses a step he won't be worth what the contract is paying. I know that on CP people think he's the fastest player in the NFL by 3 steps, but the reality is that when his speed declines he won't be worth elite money.
You pay Jones, and if Hill stays out of trouble and wants to sign a deal that is friendly to the team, and you can squeeze him in with other priorities, ok. Otherwise you continue stockpiling talent at the skill positions on offense and let someone else overpay him.
