Ian Rapoport of NFL Network stated the team was nearing a 4-year deal with Jones just before the news dropped.

The two sides are close on a 4-year deal, I’m told. First Patrick Mahomes gets done, now Chris Jones’ deal coming. KC and agents the Katz Bros have ramped up talks in the last few days. Now very close. https://t.co/I9prhXscsl

Without this agreement, the franchise tagged DT would’ve made $16.1 million fully guaranteed for the 2020 season.

In 2019, Jones appeared in 13 games for the Chiefs and recorded 36 tackles, nine sacks, one forced fumble, one recovery and four pass defenses.
