The Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory was unquestionably significant for the team. But Chris Jones will have to be in the starting lineup for the squad to maintain its momentum in the upcoming campaign. Thankfully, Patrick Mahomes’ contract holds the key to doing that.
The Chiefs have recently exercised Jones’ contract option to retain his services indefinitely. This is the latest development following concerns over the defensive tackle’s future with the team since the beginning of the last campaign.
Because he wanted a contract closer to Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams, Jones held out at that point. He then consented to a one-year deal following the Kansas City Chiefs’ defeat by the Detroit Lions.
Jones had a crucial role in the Chiefs’ victory in the Super Bowl and their recent success. During the previous offseason, he also stated that he would like to return to Kansas City and receive a higher salary.
Chris Jones’s future with the Kansas City Chiefs depends on Patrick Mahomes’ contract next season.

There is still hope for the Chiefs, even though their 2024 salary cap might not have been able to support that. Mahomes’ contract needs to be restructured in order to make this transfer happen.
