Prior to free agency, the Raiders had a pipe dream of landing Chris Jones in free agency.
Then, after the star defensive tackle was given the franchise tag by the rival Kansas City Chiefs, the hope in the Raider Nation was that Jones could become available next year.
Well, that’s not going to happen, either.
Proving, once again, that they are run as well in the front office as they are out on the field, the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs signed Jones to a lucrative contract extension Tuesday, beating the franchise-tag clock by one day.
