Signing(s): Chiefs and Chris Jones come to agreement on 1 year deal to end holdout
- Thread starter Marc the Habs Fan
- Start date
Glad he’ll be back, thought the defense held up well without him last week, so excited to see what they look like.
Seems like his agents misplayed this one. Apparently there was an offer for 2 years with $55 million guaranteed on the table, but now he’s on a one year deal with incentives. The fact the details haven’t leaked means that it’s probably not an overly great job by his representation. Hopefully they can figure something long term out, but I’m not holding my breath.

Hard to call this anything but a loss overall for Jones. Same base salary with the chance to make the fines back + additional salary through incentives. Chiefs can still tag him afterwards, too. I think it’s likely he’s gone but the list of teams bidding for his services at his reported price will be pretty short.

Without camp, what are the odds of hitting those bonuses?
Vets like Jones don’t like going into the final year of their deal with no guarantees moving forward.

Some he’ll hit easily like playing 50% of the defensive snaps. Most seemingly will require replicating last years outstanding results, personally and as a team (1st team all-pro, DPOY, repeating as SB champs) which seem more far fetched. It’s hard to see what he gained here.
While they can hit him with the tag I wouldn’t bet on it, unless it’s to trade him. I believe his tag number would be something like $32 million next year. I think him walking in FA is most likely, with an outside chance of him working something out with the team later in the year.
