Chris Jones clearly has eyes on the future
Following latest comments, this could get a bit messier than I had previously thought.

Great player, proven commodity, no character issues, no injury issues, at a premium position. Pay the man.

I'm wondering if he misunderstood the one-day contract comment that was aimed toward Hali, and was simply saying that he still has a decade to play.
Either that, or he was just saying that he's not looking forward to training camp starting. Maybe I'm an optimist, but I'm not seeing negative omens here.

Not going to read it, but if RM says it, I believe it is so.

Why is it a “premium position”?
No it’s not. |

Just pay him, he's good.
We shouldn't have dropped down to the 2nd round to take him. Should have just taken him at 28 instead of 37, and had that extra year of cheapie pay. |

Chris Jones appears to have contracted a mild case of EB29 spirit-itus.

He's the 2nd best interior lineman in the league, and the best player on this defense until someone else proves otherwise. Pay him.

Don't overpay him, Chiefs have leverage here, let him play his contract fine him for every day he's not there, let him be a RFA see if the market wants to pay him for sitting most of a year.

Maybe Veach is waiting to extend Jones until this Hill shit is over so he can structure both new contracts around each other?
Possible?

Ummm...
He’s literally saying he’s not in a rush to get to retirement. That’s it. |

Meh.
It's been reported on here several different times, from various sources, that he HAS to report to training camp by Aug. 6th (due to being on a rookie deal) or he loses an accrued season and would be a restricted FA after this season rather than a standard FA. He may not show TILL then, but he'll be there . . . . . . . and play his butt off this year because he clearly wants to get paid the big money. Not worried at all. He'll be balling out again this year on a cheap price tag if they don't get a deal done. |

His options are: 1) Not play, lose the year he's in the same spot next season. 2) Not play till week 10, become RFA hope he played well enough in that 6 weeks to get a big contract that the Chiefs have the option to match or get draft compensation. 3) Take less get guaranteed money and play. 4) Show up and play this season become an UFA and sign somewhere else or get tagged. The Chiefs have the leverage here, if he plays hardball I think he loses. |

We were just about to ink Hill, we traded for and paid Clark, and we kinda left Jones on the back burner. I'm sure he isn't feeling the love right now.
A question I have is does Veach and company value Clark more than Jones? I will say Clark had 14 sacks with half the supporting cast of Jones. Clark was all the Seahawks had. Another question I have is what's the chances of Chiefs franchising Jones and trading him like they did Ford? It would not shock me if a team signed Jones off the tag, alas two first round picks.

He has to play. He has no leverage this year. If he wants guaranteed money early, it has to come at a discount. This is pretty simple.
