Chicago currently boasts a significant amount of salary cap space, totaling $67 million. This financial flexibility enables them to pursue players like Jones, who consistently demonstrate their game-changing abilities.
The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl for the second year in a row last week. It was also their third championship since making Patrick Mahomes their full-time starter in 2018. They are approaching dynasty territory at this point.One player who was there for it all was defensive tackle Chris Jones, a former second-round pick 2016, who turned into the best player on their defense. He was there for all three Super Bowls won in the Mahomes era.
Jones is a five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro. Right now, he is on a trajectory that would get him into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.The 2024 season is going to be Jones’ age-30 season.

The Chiefs would like to get him extended before that ends up happening.
