NFL Rumors: Chiefs Haven't Been Willing to Give Chris Jones $30M AAV in New Contract

Chris Jones hasn't reported to training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs yet and it appears that the team will need to break out the checkbook to fix the issue.

Nate Taylor of The Athletic reported that the Chiefs have not been willing to give Jones $30 million per season on a new contract. Per Taylor, Jones wants a new deal that would make him "at least the second-highest-paid player at his position."

Jones is in the final season of his four-year, $80 million deal and is coming off a season that saw him record 15.
