Patrick Mahomes knows that he needs to keep the best players around him if the Kansas City Chiefs are going to continue their NFL domination, and the contract renewal of Chris Jones helps to make that a reality.
There had been some concern that Jones’ time with the Chiefs was coming to an end despite him being a key part of their defence, but those worries have been nipped in the bud with a new deal.

Jones tweeted two pen and paper emojis after the news was confirmed, and Mahomes quoted it with a big smiling face.
Jones was a very important part of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win in 2024 against the San Francisco 49ers and he has been rewarded with a 95 million dollar contract.
The news was first announced by Ian Rapoport on X as he wrote: “The #Chiefs and All-Pro DT Chris Jones have a blockbuster deal to keep him in KC, per his agents @KatzBrosSports. The top free agent is off the market and a huge move for the champs.”

He later said: “He gets a 5-year deal that includes $95M practically guaranteed. The highest paid DT.”
Jones is set to receive around 35 million dollars per season now and he will have to repay that faith by maintaining his level in the new season.
