While the deadline is approaching, the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a four-year contract extension with defensive tackle Chris Jones, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.

Schefter noted the deal is worth $85 million with $60 million guaranteed.

The Chiefs placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jones in March, guaranteeing him $16.1 million for the upcoming season. He and Kansas City have until 4 p.m. ET Wednesday to finalize a long-term contract.

Probably a 3 year deal in all likelihood. Little dead money in 2023 when Mahomes deal is due to accelerate and Hill needs a new contract.

So we'll see what he gets in years 1-3. It's gonna sting. This isn't like the Mahomes deal where any figure would've been met with elation. This one MIGHT not work out when all is said and done.

But they're clearly looking at a 2-3 year window for this team and understand that there's gonna be something of a clean sheet redesign done in a few years.

Updated: Schefter just said it’s 4 yrs/$80 million with $5 million in incentives.

So he decided on $20 million with a chance to boost it to his number probably based on sacks, games played, etc.

Veach made this work perfectly. I can’t believe he got this done for a $20 million AAV baseline

I was close but he got his $20 million per year.

If we are in the midst of a mini rebuild in 23, we might not want to redo Pat's deal. Just pay it. But its Pat so if he wants to redo it, fine by me!

In 2023 no one is on the roster except Mahomes, Butkicker and Clark(could be released with minor cap hit). This present team is turned over.

I heard someone on tv make an excellent point regarding the Patriots.

Their '20 years of dominance' wasn't really 20 years. It was 5 years followed by 10 years of very good then another 5 years of dominance. Brady won all 6 of his rings in two 5-year chunks at the front and back of his Patriots tenure.

Well that may well happen here. As I've said before, Mahomes will be at the head of 3 or 4 different iterations of the KC Chiefs. Some of those iterations will be championship caliber - others will be teams with a puncher's chance because of they have Mahomes.

And I'm okay with that. Just know that the cupboard won't ALWAYS be this full. Kelce's and Hill's aren't in every draft and we won't always have the prescience to get them when they are...
