The Kansas City Chiefs reportedly have "lots of work to do" to finalise the futures of some key players ahead of potential free agency, with fresh rumours emerging regarding Sammy Watkins and Chris Jones.

According to Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Chiefs and Watkins remain in discussions over a contract extension.

"Watkins is due $13.75 million in 2020 salary and has an outrageous $21 million cap hit," Graziano and Jones noted. "He has no plans to take a pay cut, we're told, but the two sides have a good rapport and are trying to find a sweet spot that keeps Watkins from being a cap casualty.
