Chris Jones looking for $20M per year 'or I won't play'
Chris!! Baby!...Your good...occasionally..Couldn't do much against san frans linemen...
seem to always have an ailment that keeps you from going 100%...You go hard the
next season and maybe the chiefs can pony up a little more...
Standout defensive lineman Chris Jones and his Super Bowl-champion Chiefs have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal.
However, if Jones, who the team applied the franchise tag to in March, doesn't get the deal he's desiring, it might be well past mid-July until Kansas City sees the uber-talented DL again.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday on NFL Total Access that Jones has "always viewed himself as a $20 million-plus" per-year player, but that the Chiefs have never seen him in such a light and have never offered him that substantial an amount. Hence, Garafolo added there is "a lot of work to be done," if a long-term pact is to be had and Garafolo's not confident it will happen.
Jones, a 2019 Pro Bowler, replied via Twitter to a reply to a video of Garafolo's report that a holdout might be in store.
"Or I won't play. Le'Veon Bell told me about this," Jones' tweet read.
