We're less than a week until the start of the NFL regular season and the Kansas City Chiefs have a problem: Their best defensive player, one of the best in the game, isn't under contract.
Defensive lineman Chris Jones has been holding out. Reports have said he wants $30 million per year. He has hinted he's willing to sit out until Week 8. This is all terrible for the Chiefs, whose defense with Jones is good but not great. Without him, it could get ugly.
The importance of Jones isn't lost on one of the team's other superstars.
