Chiefs fans have mixed reaction to Chris Jones’ threat to sit out 2020 season
Chiefs fans are in agreement about one thing when it comes to defensive lineman Chris Jones: they love him.
Jones is one of the top players in the NFL at his position, and he wants a bigger contract than the Chiefs seemingly are willing to offer.
That’s why the Chiefs placed the franchise tag on Jones. But with the July 15 deadline to sign with the team nears, Jones tweeted Tuesday night that he might actually sit out if he doesn’t receive a long-term contract.
The Chiefs’ “Run It Back” tour currently includes 20 of 22 starters from the Super Bowl LIV starting lineup. But if Jones makes good on his threat, that number would be 19.
Jones’ tweet created a buzz among Chiefs fans on Twitter, but not everyone agreed what the team should do.
