The Kansas City Chiefs aren't expected to apply the franchise tag to defensive lineman Chris Jones, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Jones ended his holdout after agreeing to a new one-year contract with Kansas City. Schefter reported the deal doesn't prohibit the Chiefs from using the franchise tag for the four-time Pro Bowler. Instead, the salary cap might make it unfeasible.
Opting for that route is projected to them $32 million for 2024, which would eat up the vast majority of their $47.1 million in effective cap space, per Over the Cap.
