unless he missed TC there is no reason to worry.

these contracts are fairly set up within the new CBA. only a few negotiation points.

I not worried until they actually start camp and he's not there. With rookie salaries being pretty much slotted the agent is probably doing his job and trying to get every little thing he can for his client. To hold out of camp for what amounts to minor issues would really be stupid on the agents and/or the players part.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Only 8 out of 32first round picks are signed. When it's 31 out of 32 and Jones is the only one not signed, then I'll start to worry.
