While acknowledging that the goal is to resume normal football operations as quickly as possible, Jones stopped short of provinding any sort of timetable for a deal.
"It's pointless to talk about progress," he said. "That's not the way you measure anything. You can say you don't have anything until you have a total agreement. ... We'll make sure we sit down and work it out in a way that keeps our great game what it is.
"This train is going to get there," Jones assured. "I just want to be on it."
