The Chiefs and Chris Jones got this done with more than a day to spare.

Facing a Wednesday afternoon deadline to work out a long-term contract because Jones had been given the franchise tag, the two sides finished a deal on Tuesday.

Jones, the star defensive lineman, reached agreement on a four-year contract extension worth $85 million with $60 million total guarantee at signing, the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported.

Chiefs fans were a happy bunch when the news broke, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes was as well.

Here’s what they were saying about Jones and general manager Brett Veach:

I’m stunned. I didn’t think they would get anything done and this would be Jones last year here. That’s a lot of money to pay two DL. I’m happy they got something done though. No distractions now. #RunItBack #Chiefs

I know everyone is saying it, but brett veach really signed big extensions with Mahomes & Chris Jones and re-signed watkins and breeland, and had a good draft, all with $177 of cap space at the beginning of the offseason. incredible.

Man, so many fans of other teams worried about #Chiefs cap space. Appreciate the concern
