Chiefs 2023 Training Camp: DT (*28*) Jones officially missed all 28 days
Nonetheless no phrase on when Kansas Metropolis’s All Professional defender will report back to the workforce.
The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs officially wrapped their 2023 coaching camp on Thursday — and star defensive sort out (*28*) Jones missed each second of it as he continues his holdout for a contract extension.
To repeat: Jones is below contract for the approaching season. The Chiefs count on him to play.
In his last press convention from Missouri Western State College in St. Joseph, head coach Andy Reid defined that coaching camp gives his gamers with a strong basis to construct on as they put together for the trials of the common season.
So when he was later requested about Jones, Reid was prepared with a response.
“You recognize it’s a quick sport,” he stated. “When he will get in, he’s going to need to get caught up.”
Listening to Reid use the phrase “when” (as an alternative of “if”) suggests he’s optimistic that the Chiefs and Jones will get one thing carried out — or that he’ll at the very least be reporting to the workforce quickly.
However so long as his holdout lasts, he’ll proceed to build up a superb of $50,000 per day via Sunday, September 3. His holdout may find yourself costing Jones nearly $3 million.
So we’ll simply have to attend and see if Jones decides to affix the workforce sooner — moderately than later.
