The NFL might have another Le’Veon Bell situation on its hands.
Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones threatened to take the Bell route on Tuesday, saying on Twitter that he won’t play without a major contract extension. How major are we talking about? Jones essentially indicated how much he’d settle for in the tweet he replied to.
Jones was indirectly replying to a tweet from NFL Network reporter Mike Garofalo, who said that an extension between Jones and the Chiefs was unlikely by the July 15 deadline as the Chiefs hadn’t offered a deal worth at least $20 million a year.
