SportsBeat KC: The chances of Chris Jones sitting out the 2020 season are…
The Chris Jones story took another twist this week with his tweet that hinted he might sit out the 2020 season instead of playing on the franchise tag. Jones dropped the name Le’Veon Bell, the running back who sat out the 2018 season, declining to play for the Steelers when they used a franchise tag on him for a second straight year.
On this episode of the daily SportsBeat KC podcast, Chiefs beat writers Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell break down the Jones’ contract situation and cover other topics such as the reduced preseason schedule, who besides Jones is looking for a new contract and how Chiefs and other NFL players are handling the potential for increased injuries after not working out together as a team in the spring.
