Jones definitely should have that much. In 2018, he established a brand-new NFL record for many successive video games with a minimum of one sack (11 video games), and he followed it up with another 9 total sacks this year despite missing out on a couple video games. He likewise revealed how dominant he can be versus the stiffest competitors in the postseason.
For the last a number of months, both sides have maintained that they eventually wanted to reach this conclusion. Brett Veach made it clear that keeping Jones on the roster was the top concern of the offseason for the Chiefs, and subsequent remarks from head coach Andy Reid and group owner Clark Hunt were just as favorable. In addition, Jones himself has actually mentioned just how much he loves K.C. and wishes to remain with the team.
Jones has 33 sacks and 72 quarterback hits in the last 4 years for the Chiefs.
The #Chiefs and star DT Chris Jones have actually reached an agreement on a 4-year extension worth $85M, per the Katz Bros. $60M overall warranty upon finalizing. A long time coming, but Jones gets his offer, and KC locks in a huge one.
