The Kansas City Chiefs made their first move very quickly. On the first day that NFL teams could use the franchise tag, the Chiefs chose to use it on defensive tackle Chris Jones, giving the franchise a myriad of options and plenty of time to work out a long-term extension (or find another course of action). For his part, Jones says he has “mixed emotions” about the news.
Jones recently decided to sit in for an interview with Colin Cowherd in which he was asked about the news. Jones was equal parts professional and vulnerable and he handled the line of questioning very impressively.
