Nick Wright reveals the dollar amount that Chris Jones is after for his new contract, and why the Chiefs haven't budged at this point.
just got his new deal at $24 million, and they're offering over $27 million. … Aaron Donald's deal is an outlier, and Chris feels like ‘I’m the best in the league, so I want that deal.' At this point, there is an element of not sure where we go. … I think it has surprised people.""Players don't see the outliers. You either feel like you're the best, and you should be paid accordingly, or you fall into the slot that you're at. Period, point blank.
"When I look at this situation, and I'm the Kansas City Chiefs, the last thing that I want is for someone who is not present to become a distraction. Because their goal … is not just winning opening night, this is long-term. This is ‘do we have the talent, and the personnel to repeat?’ We have not seen a repeat … in almost 20 years.
