The Kansas City Chiefs reportedly have some confidence that they will be able to sign All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones to a new contract in the near future.
During an appearance on SportsCenter on Tuesday morning, ESPN NFL insider Jeff Darlington said the following about where things stand with Jones and the Chiefs:
"The Chiefs would like to give him that long-term extension. I'm told that they are still optimistic that this will get done, likely before training camp for Chris Jones. And this is significant for a number of reasons, not just the contract itself.
