The Kansas City Chiefs are getting set to face the Detroit Lions on Thursday and a prominent player will not be on the field.
The clock is ticking for the Kansas City Chiefs and Chris Jones to end the contract stalemate and get the star defensive tackle on the field for Thursday’s season-opening kickoff against the Detroit Lions.
The star defensive tackle again made headlines after missing his latest practice following a report stating he remains far apart on talks with the Chiefs’ front office on a new deal.
Because things are now getting hectic behind the scenes, Jones is now throwing a monkey wrench in the drama by liking tweets about getting traded to the Cowboys.
The Cowboys’ defense would be even more dominant adding Jones. The team is coming off a disappointing Divisional Round playoff loss to the 49ers. Dallas is scheduled to open the 2023 regular season on Sunday night against the New York Giants.
As one of the NFL’s top defensive players, Jones’ ongoing search for an extension has been a hot topic all off-season. Now, it appears he is trying to use social media to get his point across even further.

The biggest thing to help him in his fight is for the Chiefs to play terribly on defense without him on Thursday night.
Based on his latest actions, Jones sounds more than prepared to remain away from the team, for potentially as long as Week 8, with the Chiefs’ Week 1 matchup against the Lions on Thursday night rapidly approaching.
