It took all of the offseason, training camp and preseason —and even Week 1 of the regular season — for Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive tackle Chris Jones to agree to a re-worked contract that would end his contract holdout. That was announced on Monday. Two days later, he was back with the team as they began preparations for Week 2’s game.
Just like that, Jones moved on from the big contract extension he and his agents were fighting to get. In the end, Jones’ compensation was increased only by the addition of incentives — and he’s still set to hit free agency after this season.
