Super Bowl video shows Patrick Mahomes tell Chris Jones he wouldn’t leave Chiefs
One thing we learned about Chris Jones’ new contract with the Chiefs is that $158.75 million can do wonders for an academic grade.
CEO/chairman Clark Hunt had received an F-minus from the Chiefs players in this year’s NFL Players Association grades, but Jones said that mark had changed to an A-plus.
That’s quite the 180.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was among the players who shared their excitement about Jones’ new deal after it was revealed on Saturday night.
Mahomes apparently had a feeling Jones wouldn’t be leaving the Chiefs. That sentiment was shared just minutes after the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime at Super Bowl LVIII.
NFL Films shared a clip of the interaction on Monday.
“Hey bro, you ain’t going nowhere, I promise you,” Mahomes confidently told Jones as they hugged while red, yellow and white confetti fell at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Jones responded: “Hey, I told them: Keep me.”
Mahomes, who was holding his daughter, Sterling, then told Jones: “Hey, we’re not done, dog. I want three.”
That would be the first-ever Super Bowl threepeat, which is the Chiefs goal heading into the 2024 season. Jones agreed.
“We got to get three,” Jones said.
