Fletcher Cox.
$ 63.3 M.
Earlier this month, tweeting a reply to an NFL Network video on his contract talks, Jones had actually hinted he would hold out unless he received a long-term deal.
Jones, 26, led the Chiefs in sacks in each of the past 2 seasons.
He predicted in training camp in 2018 that he would lead the league in sacks, and while he didnt, he got close. Jones 15.5 sacks ranked 3rd in the league behind Aaron Donald and J.J. Watt. Jones that season set an NFL record for consecutive video games with a sack with 11.
He had nine sacks in 2019 regardless of missing out on 3 video games with a groin injury. He was chosen to play in the Pro Bowl for the very first time.

The extension comes a week after the Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes consented to a 10-year agreement that could be worth approximately $503 million. The extension does not start until the 2022 season, so the Chiefs handled little in the method of extra salary cap obligations in 2020 and 2021 for Mahomes in extending his contract. Mahomes in 2020, for circumstances, will have a cap cost of about $5.3 million, or less than 3% of the Chiefs cap.
The Chiefs are now the only group in the NFL with 3 gamers making at least $60 million guaranteed with Jones joining Mahomes ($ 140 million) and protective end Frank Clark ($ 62.3 million).
Mahomes and Jones both required to Twitter to celebrate after news of Jones deal broke.
