Making the case of ‘veteran rest days’ for Chris Jones, Travis Kelce

This offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs made clear that defensive tackle Chris Jones and tight end Travis Kelce will play major roles in continued success, likely in 2024 and beyond.

Jones — who was set to be the highest-profile defensive free agent available this spring — signed a five-year contract to remain in Kansas City. He can reportedly earn up to $158.8 million as the interior pass rusher attempts to build his case to eventually be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Kelce’s eventual selection to football immortality is essentially a formality at this point.
