Chiefs, DT Chris Jones agree to massive five-year deal - ESPN

The Kansas City Chiefs and five-time Pro-Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones have reached an agreement on a five-year deal that includes $95 million guaranteed, his agents told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday night.

The specific details of the deal are still are being finalized, but Jones will sign a five-year deal in which all the money in the first three years — $95 million — is guaranteed. Once the contract is signed, Jones will have the highest-ever average annual salary for a defensive tackle.

The move allows Kansas City to keep its best defender before free agency begins.

Jones had months of negotiations with the Chiefs, to the point where he held out of all training camp last year and missed the first game of the regular season against the Lions.

He came back on a revised 1-year deal, totaled 10.5 sacks on the season, was named First-Team All-Pro, won his third Super Bowl, and now becomes the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history.

Despite speculation surrounding all three, Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, and Jones are now all back in Kansas City as the Chiefs aim to become the first NFL team in history to win three Super Bowls in a row.
