ESPN reports Chandler Jones requested a trade.

All-Pro pass-rusher Chandler Jones requested a trade from the Arizona Cardinals this offseason, sources told ESPN.

Jones has been unhappy with his contract and missed offseason work as a result.

The Cardinals don't want to trade Jones and expect him to report to training camp, which begins Tuesday. Jones, 31, plans to have a big year coming off surgery on his right biceps, and the Cardinals believe he's excited to play alongside new acquisition J.J. Watt despite past unhappiness. A source said Jones is viewed as a "great guy" in the organization and is set to be a pivotal part of the Cardinals' defense this year. The team generally does not publicly discuss contract details regarding its players.

I think it's unlikely he gets dealt, but if there is discord, that could certainly benefit the rest of the NFC West.

Don't think the Hawks has the cap to sign him without major restructuring other contracts, is that right?
