Not Much Traction Between Chiefs, Chris Jones
4 years agoThere hasn't been much traction on long-term contract talks between the Kansas City Chiefs and defensive tackle Chris Jones, according to a source. The Chiefs want Jones back long-term, but the coronavirus pandemic has played a big part with teams not know what the salary cap will be next year. Clarity from the league before the July 15 deadline to sign franchise-tagged players would help both sides. The 6-foot-6, 310-pounder has 24.5 sacks for KC in the last two seasons, becoming a dominant defensive tackle for the Chiefs and fantasy owners in IDP formats. He could be looking at around $20 million per season on a new deal. Jones should be considered a weekly starter in IDP formats, with or without a long-term deal.
