The Kansas City Chiefs have begun their training camp for the upcoming 2020 NFL season, but one key player is missing: Chris Jones. Jones, a defensive tackle, is entering his fifth season with the Chiefs and has been a key part of their defense since he was drafted in 2016.
Jones has been absent from training camp due to a contract dispute. He is currently in the final year of his rookie contract and is looking for a long-term extension. The Chiefs have been in negotiations with Jones for months, but have yet to reach an agreement. As a result, Jones has decided to stay away from training camp until a deal is reached.
The Chiefs have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL over the past few years, and Jones has been a big part of that success. He has recorded 23 sacks over the past three seasons and has been named to the Pro Bowl twice in that span. His presence on the defensive line has been invaluable to the Chiefs, and his absence from training camp could be a major blow to their defense this season.
The Chiefs are hoping to reach an agreement with Jones soon, but it remains to be seen if that will happen. Until then, they will have to make do without one of their best defensive players. It will be interesting to see how the Chiefs adjust to Jones’ absence and if they can still be successful without him.
