According to a story by Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive end Chris Jones is not seeking to be paid more than the Los Angeles Rams’ Aaron Donald, whose contract carries an annual average value (AAV) of $31.67 million.
Jones is currently holding out as he seeks an extension to his contract, which extends through the coming season.
Florio said that in response to to a report that Jones was seeking that kind of money, he and his colleagues “put on our journalisming hat” to get the truth.
