Chris Jones and the Chiefs: What their 1-year deal means now and for the future

New York Times  

— The financial compromise that Chris Jones and the Kansas City Chiefs reached Monday afternoon was one that neither party anticipated making when negotiations began. Jones will earn $2 million if he plays at least 50 percent of the Chiefs’ defensive snaps, according to a league source. “I don’t know what got out of this, other than less money.” #Chiefs DT Chris Jones is back on the "unofficial" depth chart for Week 2. pic.twitter.com/kRhRXDNMVi — Charles Goldman September 13, 2023 Mueller believes Jones’ leverage was at its peak last week before the Chiefs hosted the Lions. Such an extension would’ve made Jones the league’s third-highest-paid defensive player behind San Francisco 49ers pass rusher Nick Bosa, who agreed to a five-year, $170 million contract extension with $122.5 million guaranteed Wednesday, and Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Since Jones’ new contract didn’t accomplish that goal, the Chiefs restructured star left guard Joe Thuney’s contract, a move that created $8.7 million in salary-cap space.
