<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Jones</a> wants a contract extension, but the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a> have not offered him one yet. Unfortunately, the defensive lineman is losing huge paychecks for holding out from the team’s training camps.



Back in 2016, the Chiefs found a hidden gem in the second round of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft. With the 37th overall pick, Kansas City selected Chris Jones, who quickly became a very dominant defensive tackle.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230823#BUS#50948"></div>


In 2022, Jones had the best season of his career, earning the Defensive Player of the Year award. However, he has not received an offer from the Chiefs to extend his contract, and he’s not comfortable at all with them.



<h2>Chris Jones has over $1 million in fines for holding out</h2>



Chris Jones didn’t have the best start of his NFL career, with the first two years being his worst so far. However, since 2018 he has been one of the best defensive players in the league, and he’s aware of it.



In 2020, Jones signed a 4-year, $80 million contract extension with Kansas City. This deal ends this year, so that’s why he’s holding out from the team’s training camp until he gets a new one.



Unfortunately, things are not in the best terms between both sides. The Chiefs are working on a solution for Jones’ salary problems, but the player is refusing to join them until he gets a new deal, and he’s losing huge paychecks for holding out.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230725#BUS#34957"></div>


According to Arrowhead Pride, Jones already has over $1 million in fines by missing training camp and he would lose another $1,083,333 for each game missed. On social media, he revealed that he could return until Week 8 against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Broncos</a>.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> find themselves in a contract negotiation standoff with Chris Jones, their All-Pro defensive lineman. As the 29-year-old enters the final year of his contract, both sides haven’t made much progress in reaching an agreement, leading Jones to initiate a holdout.



With a base salary of $19.5 million for the remaining year of his contract, Jones recently disclosed his holdout timeline. He currently holds position of the ninth highest-paid defensive tackle in terms of average annual salary on the four-year, $80 million deal he signed.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230804#BUS#40802"></div>


Jones’ impact on the Chiefs is undeniable, underscored by his first-team All-Pro selection last year. He accumulates an impressive record of 65 sacks, 12 forced fumbles, and three turnovers in his seven seasons with Kansas City.



<h2>Chris Jones Is Prepared to Sit Out for Multiple Weeks</h2>



If there is a team that could overcome the loss of a star player, that’s probably the Chiefs. However, on the defensive side of the ball, Jones’ presence is too remarkable for them to be contenders without the superb defensive tackle.



In response to a query on social media about the end of the holdout, the two-time Super Bowl champion had a short answer. Jones wrote “Week 8”, indicating that the preseason might not be the only time he’s absent from the team. This choice would also have financial implications.



Having already incurred over $1 million in fines for missing training camp, Jones would additionally forfeit $1,083,333 for each game he misses, according to Arrowhead Pride. When confronted with the potential financial loss, Jones confidently stated: “I can afford it.”



<h2>Who is the highest paid defensive tackle?</h2>



Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams is the highest paid defensive tackle in the NFL, with a $31.666M salary in annual average value, per OverTheCap.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Jones</a> is trying to convince the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a> to give him a lucrative contract extension. However, the player’s salary demands could put the AFC West team in serious problems very soon.



The Chiefs have to make a tough decision this offseason. Chris Jones is entering his final year of his four-year, $80 million deal he signed in 2020. The defensive tackle wants a contract extension, and Kansas City has not offered him one yet.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230724#BUS#34884"></div>


Both sides have been negotiating for the last few months to find a suitable solution. However, it seems that the four-time Pro Bowler is not willing to concede easily, putting the team in a very tough situation.



<h2>Chris Jones’ contract expectations could lead to the Chiefs moving on from him</h2>



Kansas City is in serious problems. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> LVII champions have to address Chris Jones’s contract situation, as the defensive tackle is entering his final year of the lucrative deal he signed in 2020.



As of today, the team and 29-year-old have not reached an agreement to extend his contract. According to The Athletic, Jones aims to become one of the highest-paid defensive players in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, seeking a deal that would pay him $30 million per season.



Unfortunately, his demands could put the Chiefs in a very tough situation. According to OverTheCap.com, Kansas City ranks last in the NFL in cap space available for 2023 with $409,942. They are projected to have $51.2 million in cap room available next year.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230617#BUS#12586"></div>


If they want to continue with Jones for more years, the team must get creative with the structure of the contract to make it work. However, they could also move on from him, looking for a trade as they did with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyreek-hill" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyreek Hill</a> in 2022.

NFL News: Chris Jones' salary demands put the Chiefs in serious problems

Chris Jones wants a new contract with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>. Given the significant contracts handed out to players in his position this offseason, his performance last season that included an impressive 15.5 sacks justifies a raise from his base salary of $19.5 million in 2023.



He has one year remaining on his current deal, so he chose to skip mandatory minicamp. The Chiefs faced a similar situation with Jones after their 2019 championship win, and general manager Brett Veach is confident they can extend him again.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230616#BUS#11948"></div>


The star defensive tackle didn’t practice with the team this week, but he has the support of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> also said he isn’t concerned, although there is no doubt they need Jones to pursue another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>.



<h2>Brett Veach is confident in extending Chris Jones</h2>



Veach has been one of the best general managers in the league. The Chiefs are a reliable organization especially building their roster, but they know that extending Jones will make things easier in that perspective. They would be able to reduce the 28.29M cap hit the defensive tackle currently has if they do so.



“We have great communication, and there’s a lot of time before camp. I feel good about where we’re going to be with Chris. We’ll get to celebrate, have a good time. I’m sure we’ll have great dialogue from now to the start of training camp, and look forward to Chris being here, not just for next year but for a long time”, Veach said according to Jordan Foote of Sports Illustrated.



He also mentioned the contract negotiation he had with Jones when the player got a four-year deal worth 80 million dollars. “We have a long history together, and we have a great relationship with his agents. These things usually get worked out right before or right during the start of camp. We anticipate the same, and we’ll see how it goes”, the general managers clarified for the fans.

Chiefs’ Brett Veach shares update on Chris Jones’ contract extension

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>‘ star defensive tackle, Chris Jones, skipped mandatory minicamp due to a contract dispute. Led by head coach Andy Reid and quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>, the Chiefs remain <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl contenders</a>. However, they desperately need the defender.



Jones is seeking a new contract with one year remaining on his current deal. The defensive tackle has a base salary of 19.5M in 2023, but his impressive 15.5 sacks last season warrant a raise. Especially considering the massive contracts that were handed this offseason to players at that position.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230613#BUS#10333"></div>


Despite the dispute, fans shouldn’t worry too much yet because the Chiefs had a similar situation with him after becoming champions in the 2019 season. His value to the team suggests a resolution is likely, with both parties benefiting from a resolution since Jones currently has a cap hit that exceeds the 28M.



<h2>Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid downplay Chris Jones’ absence</h2>



The NFL is a quarterback league, so it’s clear who is the most important person in the Chiefs right now. However, Reid is almost as important as Mahomes for what they can achieve as the best QB-head coach duo in the league. That’s why their voices are listened to more carefully when they speak, and this time they understood Jones’ decision to skip mandatory minicamp.



“It’s part of the business. I think Chris knows that we love him here. He’s been a part of this team for a long time. He’s one of the main reasons that we’ve had the success that we’ve had. He’s been that leader on the defense,” Mahomes said according to Adam Teicher of ESPN.



Reid even mentioned a potential comeback. “Chris wasn’t here. Kinda like last year, same type of deal. That’s his choice. He chose not to be here. I’m sure he’ll be at training camp. I don’t even deal with it. I let Brett [general manager Veach] deal with it. If you’re there, you’re there, and if you’re not, we keep going. It’s one of those deals. They’ll work all that out. They’re communicating, so that’s important”, the head coach added per Nick Shook of NFL Network.

Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid react to Chris Jones’ absence from Chiefs’ minicamp

The beginning of mandatory minicamp for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> was Tuesday as it happened with plenty of teams. This time of the year is normal to have players not showing up, and that was exactly the case for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl champions</a>.



The Chiefs won another title thanks to the core of superstars they have. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> was the leader of an offense that continues being effective no matter what, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a> as the only reliable receiver following Tyreek Hill’s trade.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230608#BUS#7576"></div>


Their offense is the reason why they are contenders. However, the defense has improved a lot as the year went by. They have a lot of young players that stepped up, but Chris Jones was the veteran presence that made the unit go.



<h2>Chris Jones’ contract</h2>



There are interesting decisions to make in plenty of teams. Disgruntled players that want a new contract decide to not show up to practice this early in the offseason. This one seems a bit different than other examples because it looks very unlikely that the team would make a drastic decision with him.



Chris Jones didn’t appear in the start of mandatory minicamp because he is seeking a new contract. The defensive tackle has one year left on his contract with a base salary of 19.5M that could be worth up to 20M, although his performances suggest he deserves a raise.



This is especially true considering players like Dexter Lawrence, Jeffery Simmons, and Daron Payne all received massive contract extensions. He is expecting to be at least the second highest-paid defensive tackle, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic. That means he wouldn’t accept less than the 23.5M per year that Simmons received from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans">Tennessee Titans</a>.



The star of Chiefs’ defense had a fantastic season that included 15.5 sacks. He was the best defensive tackle in the league last year, so his desire for a new deal isn’t unreasonable. Kansas City’s fans shouldn’t be overly concerned about it because they went through a similar situation a few years ago.



The Chiefs won the Super Bowl in the 2019 season and Jones had an expiring contract, but back then both sides were able to reach an agreement. The perfect player-franchise match suggests that they should be able to make it work again. Considering he has a cap hit of over 28M, extending him would also open a lot of space to sign DeAndre Hopkins if they want to.

That leaves a lot of room to talk about a wide range of topics, which is what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Video-Tyreek-Hill-shows-off-his-incredible-speed-at-an-indoor-competition-20230311-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyreek Hill</a> did.
The wide receiver was traded by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-coaches-picture-Travis-Kelce-has-hilarious-reaction-to-Super-Bowl-contenders-photo-20230330-0046.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a> last offseason in a blockbuster move that surprised everyone in the league.

In the end, it worked for both sides. The player was named to the First-Team All-Pro, and the team did even better by winning the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Tom-Brady-addresses-Patrick-Mahomes-behavior-in-the-Super-Bowl-victory-parade-20230217-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Super Bowl</a> over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Fly-Eagles-fly-Lyrics-of-the-Philadelphia-Eagles-fight-song-20230210-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a>. On top of that feat, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Chiefs-QB-Patrick-Mahomes-reacts-to-the-new-TNF-rule-20230328-0042.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> won his second <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Chiefs-QB-Patrick-Mahomes-wins-MVP-joins-exclusive-group-20230210-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL MVP</a>. However, Hill said something that DT <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Chris-Jones-contract-What-is-the-Chiefs-defensive-tackles-salary-20230212-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Jones</a> didn’t like.
<h2>Chiefs DT Chris Jones responds to Hill</h2>
Hill’s personality led him to say plenty of things since he arrived in Miami. The first comments that sparked some criticism had him stating that quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Miami-Dolphins-make-final-decision-on-Tua-Tagovailoas-contract-20230310-0037.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tua Tagovailoa</a> was more accurate than Mahomes on certain throws. Now, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Tyreek-Hill-sends-huge-warning-to-Patrick-Mahomes-and-Chiefs-20230406-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he mentioned what he is going to do when he visits Arrowhead Stadium next season</a>.
Those words weren’t enjoyed by one player in particular that took to social media to respond to his former teammate. “May God bless him”, Jones posted on Twitter first. But then he escalated his answer a bit: “The only sign he throwing up is walking to the bus after the game”. There isn’t many opportunities for a defensive tackle to encounter a wide receiver like Hill during a play, although Jones will likely make him regret what he said if that were to happen.

Defense has become a lost art in today’s games. The rules make it nearly impossible for guys to hold their own against the offense. Nonetheless, a handful of players still finda way to make an impact.
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-Justin-Jefferson-and-leading-candidates-for-Offensive-Player-of-the-Year-20230103-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Offense</a> may win games, but defense wins championships. That’s why every team needs to have a defensive anchor leading the way, and these are some of the best there are. Check out the top 3 candidates for this year’s DPOY.
<h2>NFL Rumors: Top 3 Candidates For Defensive Player Of The Year</h2>
<h3>3. Chris Jones</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230106_BUS_210688_chris_jones.jpg_22993414_ec9814ae.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Chris Jones – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Most people questioned the Kansas City Chiefsdefense, and rightfully so, as they’ve put themselves in tough spots more often than not. But that doesn’t make Chris Jones any less of a force.
We’re talking about a tackle-breaking machine with a great instinct for reaching the opposing quarterback. And if it wasn’t for any of the other guys we’re about to name, he’d be leading this list by a long stretch.
<h3>2. Micah Parsons</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230106_BUS_210688_micah_parsons.jpg_22993414_4a8db23a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Micah Parsons – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Micah Parsons will be the league’s defensive driving force for years to come. He’s already the most versatile defender in the league, and has proven that he has the upside to be a generational talent.
Parsons will find a way to disrupt the offense, regardless of where you line him up. He’s a linebacker, and he’s a defensive back; he’s Micah Parsons. The Dallas Cowboys found themselves a superstar.
<h3>1. Nick Bosa</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230106_BUS_210688_nick_bosa_x1x.jpg_22993414_281c8980.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Nick Bosa – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
It’s a shame that Nick Bosa isn’t getting any real consideration for being this year’s Most Valuable Player. He’s been the best player in arguably the best team in the league, and it’s not even close.
Bosa has been posting video-game-like numbers since Week One, proving that he can be one of the greatest stoppers this game has ever seen when he’s at full strength. He’s a lock to take the award home this year.
