Dipp has no confidence in the Cowboys or Jets, so he chose the Lions to surprise us this season.
Jones is in the final year of his contract and wants a renewal that will make him the highest-paid defensive tackle in the league.
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, EE.UU. (AP) — Travis Kelceof the Kansas City Chiefshe implored his partner Chris Jones end his boycott, which the tackle has maintained throughout training camp before the first game of Kansas City this week before the Detroit Lions.
On an episode of his “New Heights” podcast with his brother Jason Kelcecenter of the Philadelphia Eagles, the tight end said he “didn’t get it.” Entering the final year of his four-year, $80 million deal, Jones is seeking a long-term deal that would make him the second-highest-paid defensive tackle in the league.
“Chris, you scare me. Can you come back?” he asked. Travis Kelce on the podcast. “You must know something that I don’t, because I don’t understand it. I really want to win another Super Bowl ring with you.”
Travis Kelce would like teammate Chris Jones to come to an agreement with the Chiefs and join training ahead of Week 1.Getty
After a period of little communication, the general manager of the Chiefs Brett Veach He indicated this week that he had resumed talks with the player’s representatives. Veach even said he was “hopeful” that Jones would report in time to play the season opener on Thursday against Detroit.
On Friday they asked the coach of the Chiefs Andy Reid about Chris Jones and if you think there is a discord in the locker room.
“Listen, everyone makes their personal decisions. That’s life,” he said. Andy Reid. “Chris chose this route, others have chosen to compromise, come and play. I am not going to criticize the methods”.
Los Chiefs they certainly need Chris Jones. The 29-year-old tackle had 15 1/2 sacks this season to help Kansas City to lift his second Lombardi trophy in four years.
Because he’s still under contract, Jones is racking up penalties for no-shows. This includes a $50,000 fine for each day he misses camp, as well as the $1.1 million bonus and per-game pay each.
A fan asked him on social media how long he planned to be out, and Jones replied: “Week 8,” which would be the last week to receive his payment for the season. Later they told him that it would be a great expense and he replied: “I can afford it.”
Meanwhile, the Chiefs prepare to face Detroit without what could be their best defensive player.
