For what it's worth, Byron Jones has the reputation of being one of the smartest and highest character guys in the Dolphins locker room. Ditto his reputation in Dallas. I simply don't believe the OP that Byron is purposely delaying his return for contract reasons. Far more likely that the post surgery rehabilitation hasn't gone as well as expected. The thing that some don't appreciate is that players really like to play football.
Like Megatron said, most guys will do anything and everything to play on Sundays. Regardless of what that is. Drugs, injections, whatever.
Doesn’t matter his contract situation, Byron definitely strikes me as one of those guys. Again we don’t know anything here but I just highly doubt this is the case with Jones. We don’t know what goes on outside of what’s reported, but Byron Jones has always been the definition of a professional in how he handles himself on and off the field. Can’t see him sacrificing the team.
Hopefully we get some resolve soon one way or another.
