Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs are flying high. But the talented Running Back Ronald Jones II is unhappy. The youngster has not received a handoff this season. As a result, he wants to move out of the former Super Bowl winner’s team.
Expressing his concern, the former Bucs player tweeted, “Sure would like a RELEASE right about now.”

The young gun is looking forward to a new journey. Meanwhile, PM15 and HC have not made their comments publicly about the tweet.
Why is Ronald Jones leaving the Chiefs?
The 25 Yo spent his first three years with the Bucs in the NFL. Later on, Ronald Jones signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Chiefs. However, he hasn’t played a down on the new team. This is because Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Isiah Pacheco, and Jerick McKinnon stand ahead of him on the depth chart. The lack of opportunities dented the youngster from flourishing in his NFL career. He thinks it is better to join another team for opportunities.

Jones showed his worth for the Bucs in the Super Bowl season, where he received 192 carries, and ran for 978 yards, recording seven TDs. However, he was later replaced by Leonard Fournette as the lead back. The promising talent played one more season before bidding goodbye to the top team.

Patrick Mahomes is winning the Chiefs battle
The Chiefs find themselves at the top of the AFC West. The 27 YO PM15 has been a top performer for Andy Reid’s men. So far, Mahomes has recorded 20 TDs, the most in the league so far, by a QB. He is in the race with Josh Allen for the MVP award.

The Chiefs are one of the best offenses in the new season. The young guns looked dynamic in the field. Part of the credit goes to an inspiring Mahomes. A 5-2 record makes them a favorite to reach the playoffs. However, a good beginning is just a booster dose, believes Mahomes. The Chiefs will look to continue their dominant run as they meet the Titans on November 6.
