For the members of Chiefs Kingdom wondering why in the world Chris Jones is still scheduled to technically be an unrestricted free agent after this season, the Kansas City Chiefs made it clear as ever that they don’t anticipate that being the case when the rubber meets the road. Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt spoke earlier this week and reiterated his intention to bring back Jones on a long-term deal to keep him on the team “for many years to come.”
“There have been ongoing discussions with Chris’s representatives,” said Hunt. “As I mentioned in the preseason, we’re very hopeful that we can extend Chris’s contract and bring him back to Kansas City for many years to come.
