The coming NFL season will be the last in Kansas City Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones’ current contract. So this offseason — in order to keep Jones from hitting free agency in 2024 — the team needs to make a decision about extending his deal.
Fortunately for the team, this won’t be a tough decision. Jones’ 2022 dominance — specifically down the stretch and in the postseason — has elevated his status. He is no longer just a very good pass rusher. Instead, he’s now an all-time great who has earned the right to be considered among the league’s best at his position.
