Breaking News:A very sad evening for Kansas city a terrifying reports comes in

The Kansas City Chiefs sent the football world into a frenzy on Saturday night when they reportedly agreed to a massive multiyear contract with All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones. The five-year deal keeps Jones in Kansas City for seasons to come, which will likely coincide with most or all of his prime

Now that the dust has settled a bit, there’s more clarity on what the Jones contract looks like for both sides.

On Sunday evening, Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk published an article explaining in further detail what Jones’s contract consists of. According to Florio’s report, it’s a five-year contract worth $158.75 million. It can creatively be viewed as a three-year pact totaling $95.3M in practical guarantees for those years. The Chiefs have a bit of flexibility on the back end of the deal, and restructures could factor into the long-term math of the contract.

Jones will earn a total of $30M in signing bonus money. $18M of it is due by April 5 of this year, with the other $12M due the year after. Florio’s article has a complete explanation of which funds are guaranteed at signing and when other guarantees kick in. Here’s a barebones version of the now reportedly finalized deal:

On Saturday night, Joshua Brisco of Arrowhead Report wrote about the Jones contract and why the timing of it seems approprate

Jones has been the best and most key defender of the Chiefs’ still-in-progress dynasty, and it was hard to imagine them completing a potential three-peat without him at the center of the defense. Ultimately, I think the Chiefs are betting on Jones still being at the top of his game at age 30 and 31 before being a top-level but perhaps not one-of-one player at age 32. If Jones can hold that pace and the Chiefs bring home at least one Super Bowl in that stretch, both sides would get a fitting conclusion to Jones’s tremendous Chiefs career.
