The Kansas City Chiefs have made three-time Super Bowl champion Chris Jones the highest paid defensive tackle in the NFL.
Jones' five-year, $158.8 million deal locks him in with the Chiefs through the 2028 season at an average annual value of $31.8 million, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Thanks to roster and signing bonuses, the Chiefs have a fair amount of salary cap flexibility throughout the deal.
Because of a $30 million signing bonus that will be paid out by April 2025, Jones' contract will count just $7.35 against the cap in 2024, according to NBC Sports' Mike Florio and Over the Cap.
