Kansas City Chiefs Locker Room At Odds With Contractual Disagreements Between Chris Jones & Patrick Mahomes
Before the new NFL season begins, tensions are growing across the Chief’s’ nation.
Mahomes & Jones
Tensions are rising as the start of the 2023 NFL season approaches in light of recent occurrences between the Kansas City Chiefs and star defensive lineman Chris Jones. Jones, involved in a contract dispute, has yet to report to the Chiefs’ training camp and has suggested that he might show up in week 8 of the next season.
The Chiefs’ two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes appeared to “throw shade” at Jones during a news conference at the team’s training camp when he was questioned about the possible effects of Jones’ absence on Thursday’s game.
Mahomes tactfully answered, “At this (very) point, you kind of just (get ready) prepare to play the game with the guys in the building. (Its their concern.) Let the front office and staff handle that.”
Mahomes stated his satisfaction with the Chiefs’ circumstances and his desire to win championships in Kansas City when asked about his choice to take a deal that would benefit the organization in 2020. Mahomes could have only expressed his opinion about his contract despite others seeing this as a subliminal message to Jones.
Mahomes, primarily regarded as the finest quarterback in the game while earning just the sixth-highest salary emphasized his dedication to the Chiefs and their quest for titles.
There are times when the grass is greener on the other side, especially on the Dallas Cowboys’ side
The Chiefs have a big issue as Chris Jones continues to be steadfast in his holdout intentions, which are expected to go through week 8 of the 2023 regular season.
Regardless of Jones’ contract difficulties, head coach Andy Reid is still committed to getting his guys ready for the next NFL season.
Recent statements made by Patrick Mahomes suggest that the star defensive lineman could be losing the respect of his teammates as a result of his protracted holdout strategies. Travis Kelce, a tight end, has praised Jones as the league’s best defensive player and urged him to report back to camp.
Like a tweet that linked him to the Dallas Cowboys, Jones added to the commotion and stoked trade rumors that might change the NFL landscape.
