Chris Jones replies “Week 8"
Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones has been racking up daily fines of $50,000 since the start of training camp and he indicated on social media that he’s willing to rack up a lot more of them.
Jones posted a picture of a sign that reads “If it’s out of your hands, it deserves freedom from your mind also” and was asked in reply when he plans to rejoin the team. Jones’ reply won’t warm many hearts in Kansas City.
Week 8,” Jones wrote.
Another reply noted that would result in “a hefty tab” and Jones would forfeit more than $7.5 million in weekly checks on top of his camp fines if he were to remain out until that point in the season. Jones seemed unbothered by that prospect.
“I can afford it,” Jones wrote.

It's not out of your his hands. He has a contract. Honor it. Dumbass.

If teams have the ability to ask for a reduction, players should have the ability to ask for a raise.

True but should he honor the contract when they say no?

No because the team has the ability to cut you. You don't have the ability to remove yourself from the team. This could all go away with guaranteed contracts but the league wouldn't want it.

I hope they don't pay him. :snicker:
Keep him out the full 8 weeks! :D
Bosa's big contract could make it tougher.

It would be very expensive for the Chiefs to franchise-tag Chris Jones in 2024
While it remains to be seen whether he’ll keep missing games in September and October, he has previously said he’ll be back by Week 8. There’s an important reason for that. It’s the practical deadline under the Collective Bargaining Agreement to show up and get credit for the final year of his current contract.
He’d then be eligible for free agency in 2024. And the missed games and lost salary, we’re told, will not reduce the basis for his franchise tag, if the Chiefs use it.
