Chris Jones Holdout

[esplanade91]

Chris Jones wants a new deal and is threatening to pull a LeVeon according to his twitter.

I imagine this isn't a popular stance here, but it's refreshing to see players know their worth and play the 1 or 2 chips they're given. For Jones, Kylin, and Dak. I don't want to ever see another "good riddance" tweet, because there are less than 1,000 on the planet that can play professional football for more than 2-3 years. There are far fewer who can rush for 1,000 yards in the SEC in a given 4 year period.

This should be seen as a good thing for football by everyone while we see the MLB crater with all-time low salaries without any strife or public grievances (pre-COVID). THAT is a bad sign.

He should and hes only doing it because he wants to stay in KC. So hes giving them an opportunity to pay him what hes worth before theyre broke after paying mahomes.
Plus hes been watching whats happening to Dak

Huh. I thought he was known to let it all hang out.

I had a minor operation done in Tupelo yesterday. Before hand this older fella came in to help get everything prepped and he noticed that I was wearing a Titleist State hat and a State baseball Tshirt on. He asked me if I knew who Chris Jones was. I told him and said a few things about him so that the man wouldn’t think I was just saying yes to say yes. He went on to tell me that he was his uncle and that Chris’s mom actually still worked at the Tupelo hospital. I think it shows that he comes from a hard working family if his mom who probably doesn’t have to any longer still gets up and punches a clock.

CJ and Winston Churchhill are made from the same cloth. While visiting FDR in the White House FDR encountered Churchhill in the hall as he was coming out of a bathroom, buck naked. Without missing a beat Churchhill quipped, “The Prime Minister of Great Britain has nothing to hide from the President of the United States.”’
