Quinnen Williams is signing a four-year, $96 million mega deal that will be the second largest contract ever for a defensive tackle. $66 million of that contract will be guaranteed, and it firmly sets up expectations for a massive contract for Chris Jones.
A contract extension between Jones and the Chiefs has been rumored throughout the offseason, and not many have speculated that something will not get done. Now that Williams is off of the table, the market is set to make Jones the highest paid defensive tackle in the NFL.
If anybody deserves a contract higher than Williams, it would be Jones. The Chiefs star defensive tackle cemented himself as arguably the best defensive lineman in football last year, as he had 15.5 sacks and two forced fumbles on his way to another Pro Bowl campaign.
The Chiefs would love to lock up Chris Jones to a long-term deal sometime before training camp begins at the end of July. However, there is zero indication that Jones has any interest in playing somewhere else in the future, so Chiefs fans can be pretty confident a deal will get done. Now that the market is set, Chris Jones should expect to become the highest paid defensive tackle in the NFL; he can thank Quinnen Williams and the Jets for this future label.
