It remains more likely than not Karlsson will still be in Ottawa after Monday’s 3 p.m. ET deadline.

Fox tried to recruit Jones away from ESPN not once but twice. First in 2013 and again in 2016, sources tell Sporting News. But the co-host of ESPN ’s “Highly Questionable” with Dan and Papi Le Batard (4:30 p.m. ET) and ESPN Radio’s “The Right Time with Bomani Jones” (weekdays from 4-7 p.m.) has been patient. It could pay off shortly.
