If the Kansas City Chiefs are interested in signing DeAndre Hopkins this summer, the franchise will need to free up some cap space.
Veteran defensive tackle Chris Jones has just one year remaining on his contract worth $28.3 million in 2023, and ESPN's Adam Schefter outlined a way the Chiefs could reduce that cap number on a new deal with eyes toward potentially signing Hopkins.
Schefter said Tuesday on SportsCenter:
"We have not seen Chris Jones get a new deal when he has one year left on his contract. And with that one year, his cap number is scheduled to count for over $28 million.
