I can see both sides’ POV, but Jones is a “perishable commodity”. He’s gonna lose big money in the short run. Worse, the Chiefs can franchise tag him for 2024 & 2025. Then, he’s 31 trying to get a new deal w/ a new team. Every player faces the age 31 wall where multi-year contracts disappear. That puts him playing each of the next 3 years as a contract year. That’s not the worst situation for Veach & Co. JMHO.
