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.

I don't think it was the pre covid plan. If that was Veech's plan he would have dealt him prior to the draft. I honestly think Veech wants to sign him to a 4 year deal but is uncertain about the cap in the next 2 years
Keeping Jones on the tag is risky. If he plays on it, he probably will sit on any strain or sprain...
