Contract negotiations are generally private affairs that happen behind closed doors. Jermaine Jones ignored this nomenclature on Friday when he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure about the New England Revolution's offer.
I would like to return to @nerevolution but they have offered me less than 20% of what I made last year.

Through we don't know the accuracy of Jones' tweet, we do know that he had a base salary of $2,800,000 and a guaranteed compensation of $3,052,500 in 2015.
