Chiefs’ Chris Jones gambled on himself this season and is taking his wins all the way to the bank

Associated Press  

— It seems altogether fitting that Chris Jones will chase a third Super Bowl ring in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks. “We all were.” Then came the longest of longshot parlays, one that seemed outlandish at first and downright ridiculous midway through the season, when the Chiefs had lost five of eight games and looked nothing like a championship team: Jones would earn another $1 million if he was voted an All-Pro and managed to help the Chiefs reach their fourth Super Bowl in five seasons. With their win over the Ravens last weekend, which sent the Chiefs to Las Vegas to face the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium, the gregarious Jones added yet another bonus to his rapidly swelling bank account. The following year, Jones helped the Chiefs beat the 49ers — coincidentally — for their first Super Bowl title in 50 years. Jones is due to hit free agency after the Super Bowl, though, and while the Chiefs could conceivably lure him back, it doesn’t bode well that they have repeatedly failed to reach a long-term deal.
