Appearing on the network's flagship “SportsCenter” telecast on Saturday, ESPN's Field Yates said that the Kansas City Chiefs are talking with their defensive tackle Chris Jones.
“I’m told the Chiefs and Jones have begun talking,” said Yates, “which is a big victory because it’s been quiet for months on that front; they’ve really had no communication. They’ve at least started negotiating. The Chiefs got the Patrick Mahomes deal done. They’d like to move on to Jones, who is considered a top-three defensive tackle, but that’s going to cost them well over $20 million.
