Decoding Nick Bosa’s Hand in Chris Jones Turning His Back on Patrick Mahomes & Kansas City Chiefs

The decibels are loud as the NFL season hits today! Fans are heading to watch their sides in action and support them for the games. There’s excitement all around with the competitive league back in action! For the 49ers‘ defensive end, the season couldn’t have been better! While Chief’s one player is still holding out, another – Nick Bosa – bagged a record deal of $170 million for his contract extension.

The deal comes as a double-edged sword as the Kansas City Chiefs Chris Jones’ future lies hanging. Mahomes’ led side are favorites to win the season after their triumphant journey last year. However, there could be a massive upheaval as Bosa got the record deal and Jones didn’t. Chris Jones, the NFL veteran has been associated with the Chiefs for the last 7 seasons. However, this could possibly be his last, if he’s not given a renewed contract soon.

Dissecting Nick Bosa’s record multi-million deal in Jones’s snub

For the viewers and spectators who came in to support the Chiefs. In the side’s tight loss against the Lions, the home team was without their DT. Jones watched the game from his suite at Arrowhead Stadium. There’s no denying that a weakened defense was one of the reasons for the Chiefs’ close loss. Problems are plenty for the reigning champions as Jones isn’t bailing on his requested $28 million contract.

Jones is an integral player for the KC Chiefs. He played a titular role in helping his side to 2 SB titles. The DT had an impressive 2022-23 season with some outstanding stats. He accounted for 44 tackles, 15.5 sacks, four passes defended, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. The only thing common between Jones and Bosa are the fines they’ve copped for missing practice sessions and pre-season games. As the Chiefs ponder Jones’s situation, new problems have emerged for their side given their one-point loss against the Lions.

They consistently applied pressure on the opposition’s talented offensive line. The plans bore results as they could see grimaces on several Cheifs players. Even $450 million worth of Patrick Mahomes got the treatment as he only covered 226 passing yards. The Chiefs’ receivers looked lackluster and need to pull their socks up in the forthcoming games.

The season has already started with a bang for the Lions. Cheifs however will have to address the Jones’ situation sooner than later. He’s a key player for the side and brings with him loads of experience. Hopefully, the Kansas and the player make some negotiations regarding the contract and he turns up for the 2022 SB winner.
