On a side note, if it appears something is not going to be worked out by Wednesday, is Jones's agent still able to negotiate with other teams? Or has that date of the franchise tag passed by?

Field Yates and Louis Riddick said Jones is in negotiations with the Chiefs. Something will get worked out

I can read. And I really didn't need Yates or Riddick to tell me that with Wednesday being the cut off date for a long term deal to get done this year. I could figure that out myself.

That being said, just because they are negotiating does not mean a deal gets done. I won't be shocked either way.

Veach would be incompetent if he didn't reach out to Jones agent to see if there isn't a chance at a last minute deal before the franchise tag deadline. Veach isn't incompetent.
