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]
I know exactly how they feel. The same way I felt when everyone wanted to play for the Donks when fivehead was QB. The DeMarcus Ware signing in particular had me out on a ledge.
Nice to have the shoe on the other foot for a change. [Reply]
You have a dominant DL, a great OLB, and the best QB in the game locked up for the next 4 years together, along with a majority of your Super Bowl winning team. People are just scared that Jones won't be the same after getting paid, that he'll become Justin Houston, Eric Berry, or at worst Dwayne Bowe. Gotta have faith. [Reply]
