I wonder Veech sees Jones as an important test case to show we're going to be the new Patriots. IE - draft picks need to know that if you want a giant second contract, after coming in as a draftee or vet, it's going to be elsewhere. If you're willing to stay on a perennial super bowl contender with a great coach on a team-friendly deal (like Watkins and Breeland just did), we're glad to have you.
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. |

Keeping Jones on the tag is risky. If he plays on it, he probably will sit on any strain or sprain... |

He's live on Instagram right now.
Not much to report at this time. Just saying he's chilling in Miami, said at one point that he'll "love Chiefs Kingdom for life." Please don't read into that -- I promise there was nothing in him saying it, didn't say it as a farewell or as anything. |

Juan messaged in the livestream saying what's up.
Jones declares he'll be a Top 3 safety in the NFL in two years. "He get to learn from Tyrann, that's a plus." |

Makes a comment about "all this contract talk, man," you gotta appreciate this moment here, he says.
"We're Super Bowl champions, man. Took us years to get there. I deliver on all my promises." Edit: That's all there is to report. He said like 100 things in the videos, mostly just shooting the shit about the music. He did say he wanted to shoot for 24 sacks in a season, but again, it did not come off like anything other than a dude just casually sitting in a chair might say, so do not read into that. |

What draft picks have they paid a blockbuster market-value second contract to other than Brady? |

Ok fine. Can we say the Pats are known for being shrewd and not overpaying, and at least some of the time letting star players walk?
My point wasn't really about the Pats. It was about if for Veech, is this going to set the tone for if the Chiefs are willing to let a star player walk if they think his money demands are too high? IE - maybe something we should have thought about with Hali, Houston, Berry, Bowe, LJ, etc. Although I think the complaint with Berry and Houston is more the length and structure and waiting too long. |
