"One of the things that I'd like for the fans to really understand is that nine times out of 10, these are existing [contracts] that you have in place," Jones said. "And you should be able to operate under those but we've gotten it now in the NFL, other teams are dealing with it too, where with time left on the contract you still might have a contract discussion."
