If he blinks on Jones then it will be harder to sell that story in the future. But if we really hold the line and either Jones blinks, or he moves on - then rookies will know what to expect.
Maybe, how knows. But if so then it would mean this is more than just about Jones.

That is such a debunked stupid theory. The Patriots paid their fair share of big contracts.
