Chris Jones is set to sign a three-year contract with the Chiefs following their impressive performance in the 2023-24 season. Amidst speculation about his future with the Kansas City Chiefs, the star defensive tackle addressed the matter during the Super Bowl victory parade in Kansas City, Missouri. Prior to the start of the 2023 NFL season, Jones utilized his bargaining power, resulting in him missing training camp, preseason, and the first regular season game. However, after his team’s triumphant Super Bowl win, Jones changed his stance and announced his return to the Chiefs. During the victory parade, he passionately exclaimed into the microphone, “I am not going anywhere, baby!” – StoneColdJones. According to a source close to Pro Football Talk, an official agreement between Jones and the Chiefs is expected to be announced in the near future. It is anticipated that Jones will sign a three-year deal following his outstanding performance in the 2023-24 season. However, there is a caveat. With a salary cap of $26.808 million, it remains to be seen if the Chiefs will designate Jones with the franchise tag. If they choose not to, Jones will become a free agent. When asked about the Jones situation, the Chiefs’ head coach expressed the franchise’s desire for Jones to return. He quoted the general manager’s words, stating that both parties are willing to collaborate and find a mutually beneficial solution. Furthermore, Jones’ exceptional performance in the Super Bowl made him one of only two players in NFL history to be named first-team All-Pro and win the Super Bowl in consecutive seasons. The other player on this exclusive list is the former New England Patriots legend.
