Kansas City Chiefs defensive deal with Chris Jones pertained to terms on a four-year, up-to $85 million agreement with the company today, however among the caveats to finally breaking through to get the $20 million annually he had been looking for was not being rewarded with a finalizing bonus offer. This was apparently due to salary-cap reasons connected to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reviewing Chris Jones brand-new contract with the #Chiefs. In spite of the reality he didnt get a real signing bonus offer due to the fact that of Covid reasons, the group and Jones agents, the Katz Bros, worked it out so he d be advanced $1.5 million of his base salary in the coming days.– Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) July 17, 2020
