One of the key factors in the loss of the Kansas City Chiefs in the opening game of the 2023 NFL season once morest the Detroit Lions was the absence of DL Chris Jones due to a contract dispute.
His absence was too noticeable as Detroit’s running attack dominated Kansas City’s defense. Therefore, management worked at full speed and now the seven-year veteran will play under an improved contract. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter’s report, no years were added to his relationship with the Chiefs, but several incentives were added that will offer him more money.
Jones was fined $50,000 daily for each day he did not show up for Chiefs training camp. In addition to this, he missed the payment for the commitment once morest the Lions.
