As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for the upcoming season, one of their star players is notably absent. Chris Jones, an All-Pro defensive lineman, is holding out in an effort to secure a raise.
Jones has been a key part of the Chiefs’ success over the past few years. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons and was named an All-Pro in 2018. He has also been a leader in the locker room, helping to bring the team together and create a winning culture.
However, despite his impressive accomplishments, Jones has yet to receive a raise from the Chiefs. He is currently in the final year of his rookie contract and is due to make just over $1.2 million this season.
Jones has made it clear that he is not happy with his current contract and wants to be compensated fairly for his contributions to the team. He recently told reporters, “I just want a raise. I feel like I’ve earned it.”
The Chiefs have yet to respond to Jones’ demands, but it is likely that they will eventually come to an agreement. Jones is an important part of the team and they will want to keep him happy.
It remains to be seen how long Jones will hold out, but it is clear that he is determined to get what he believes he deserves. As the season approaches, all eyes will be on the Chiefs and Chris Jones as they work out a deal that both sides can agree on.
