Chris Jones Not Looking To Be Highest-Paid Defensive Option
1 year agoAccording to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones isn't looking to earn more than Aaron Donald, who is making north of $31 million per year with the Rams. It's been reported that the Chiefs have offered the veteran $74 million ($70 million guaranteed) over the next three years. However, he's looking for more and is willing to agree to a number over that amount but less than what Donald is currently making. The 29-year-old has appeared in 107 games, all with the Chiefs, and totaled 243 tackles and 65 sacks. Kansas City will certainly need him on the field in 2023-24. But unless a new deal is finalized sometime soon, Jones' IDP stock will continue to fall.
