After a career year and a second Super Bowl ring, Chris Jones has escalated his pursuit of a new contract.

The Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro defensive tackle did not report for the start of his team's training camp Saturday, according to ESPN, and the two sides reportedly remain "far apart" in talks for an extension. He is subject to a $50,000 fine each day he doesn't report.

Jones, who also held out of the Chiefs' mandatory minicamp earlier this offseason, is entering the final season of a four-year, $80 million contract he signed in 2020, a deal that has certainly worked out for the Chiefs.
