KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — The Kansas City Chiefs are working to keep star defensive tackle Chris Jones on the roster.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rappoport, the Chiefs picked up an option on Jones’ contract, retaining the right to franchise tag him, along with paying him $4.25M he earned in incentives.
Jones will be a free agent if the Chiefs do not franchise tag him before the deadline.
The 29-year-old’s franchise tag is expected to be around $32 million.
The NFL franchise tag deadline is March 5.
Jones expressed his desire to stay in Kansas City at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl celebration on Wednesday.
