While the deadline is approaching, the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a four-year contract extension with defensive tackle Chris Jones, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.
Schefter noted the deal is worth $85 million with $60 million guaranteed.
The Chiefs placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jones in March, guaranteeing him $16.1 million for the upcoming season. He and Kansas City have until 4 p.m. ET Wednesday to finalize a long-term contract. [Reply]

Probably a 3 year deal in all likelihood. Little dead money in 2023 when Mahomes deal is due to accelerate and Hill needs a new contract.
So we'll see what he gets in years 1-3. It's gonna sting. This isn't like the Mahomes deal where any figure would've been met with elation. This one MIGHT not work out when all is said and done.
But they're clearly looking at a 2-3 year window for this team and understand that there's gonna be something of a clean sheet redesign done in a few years. [Reply]

Updated: Schefter just said it’s 4 yrs/$80 million with $5 million in incentives.
So he decided on $20 million with a chance to boost it to his number probably based on sacks, games played, etc.
Veach made this work perfectly. I can’t believe he got this done for a $20 million AAV baseline [Reply]

If we are in the midst of a mini rebuild in 23, we might not want to redo Pat's deal. Just pay it. But its Pat so if he wants to redo it, fine by me! [Reply]
