The Kansas City Chiefs have extended with another absolute top performer. Ian Rapoport from NFL-Network according to the chiefs have agreed with Chris Jones on a four-year contract.
The defensive tackle adviser had apparently confirmed this to Rapoport. Accordingly, the 26-year-old will collect up to $ 85 million over the next four years. $ 60 million of this is said to be guaranteed. The signing bonus alone is said to be $ 37 million. This makes Kansas City the second highest paid player in his position. Only Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams deserves more.
The Chiefs and Jones agreed a day before the deadline. Otherwise, Jones would have played under the Franchise Tag in the coming season. This would have earned him $ 16.1 million. In the meantime, he flirted with staying away from the team if no deal could be made. Now he gets up to $ 21.25 million a year.
Chris Jones one of the main guarantors for the title
The reigning Super Bowl champion has thus tied another key player in the long term. Just last week, quarterback Patrick Mahomes signed a ten-year record contract with the Chiefs.
Jones is considered the star of the chiefs alongside safety bully Mathieu on the defensive side. Last season, Pass Rusher was one of the main guarantors for entering the Super Bowl. Last season, Jones drafted in the second round in 2016 had a total of nine sacks.
