Kansas City Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones does not appear to be backing down from his promise to hold out from team activities until his contract is extended.

The Chiefs’ four-time Pro Bowler recently responded to a fan on Twitter who appeared to be trolling him, asking when he can be expected back and teasing that “it’s rough to live on 20 million a year.”

Chris Jones responded with a simple answer: “Week 8.”

The 29-year-old is entering his eighth season in a Kansas City uniform. He was drafted in 2016 following three seasons in college with the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Jones quickly established himself as a star at the NFL level, making the last four Pro Bowls. He’s also been the anchor for a Kansas City defense that has won two Super Bowls and three AFC Championships over the last few years.

2023 is the final year of Jones’s four-year, $80 million contract that he signed in 2020, $60 million of which is guaranteed. Although he still has one season remaining, Jones is evidently holding out in the hopes of netting himself an even larger jackpot for the long-term future.

The fines have been mounting significantly in the meanwhile. Jones received a $50,000 fine for each day he missed out on team events, which includes the whole team’s training camp this summer.

Additionally, he did not attend any of the team’s exhibition games.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener against the Detroit Lions is in just 14 days, so supporters will undoubtedly be hoping Jones and the organization can come to an agreement soon.
