💰🏈 Chris Jones Plays Hard to Get: Where’s He At, Chiefs? 🤷♂️
TL;DR; Chris Jones, the rockin’ defensive tackle of the Kansas City Chiefs, is MIA from training camp. He’s on the hunt for a fancy new contract, but it seems the Chiefs’ bank and his wishes aren’t singing the same tune. 🎵
Chris Jones, the 29-year-old powerhouse of the Kansas City Chiefs, apparently decided that the Missouri Western State University campus wasn’t the place to be this Saturday morning. Maybe he was enjoying a breakfast burrito? Or perhaps, just maybe, it’s got something to do with the whole ‘new deal’ thing he’s been chasing after. 🌯💼
The All-Pro DT is on the verge of wrapping up his four-year contract and is on the prowl for an extension. And what did the head coach, Mr. Andy Reid, have to say when questioned if he foresaw Jones making a grand entrance on the big report day? “I’ll just have to see how that goes,” Reid mused. Classic Reid – always playing it cool. But hey, he assured everyone there’s been chit-chat happening. So, all’s good…right? 😏
Many in the football universe (yes, that’s you Jets fans) figured that with the New York Jets showering defensive tackle Quinnen Williams with a whopping four-year, $96 million contract, our boy Jones and the Chiefs might find some middle ground. After all, everyone loves a happy ending. But word on the street, courtesy of a little birdie named Schefter, suggests they’re “far apart” on the deal. Looks like the “happily ever after” is on hold. 😢💔
But here’s where it gets juicy: Chris Jones might want to check his bank balance because with every day he’s away from camp, he’s racking up a spicy $50,000 fine. Ouch! Makes you wonder – just how deep are his pockets? 💸
And before we forget, Mr. Jones isn’t just anyone. The man was crowned a first-team All-Pro after the 2022 season, tying his career-best with a whopping 15.5 sacks! Not to mention, he did some serious damage during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl triumph. KC fans definitely remember drafting him as a second-round pick in 2016. Good times! 🏆
So, here’s where we’re at: Jones is playing hard to get, the Chiefs are, well… being the Chiefs, and every day this dance continues, someone’s wallet gets a little lighter.
But what do you think? 🤔 Will Chris Jones dive back into the action soon or is he ready to play the waiting game? And how many $50k fines can one man handle before he says, “Enough!”? 🤑🕰️
Join the convo below: How long do you think Chris will hold out for that dream contract? And Chiefs fans, are you biting your nails yet? 🍿🏈🤨
