Here is a brief timeline:2019The team hired Steve Spagnuolo to be their defensive coordinator, and one of his early moves was to shift Jones from defensive end to defensive tackle.That positional switch also meant a decrease in value on the open market, something that was at the heart of negotiations between Jones and the Chiefs, according to NFL.com's Jeffri Chadiha. team source says there is big gap between team and on new deal. Team wants something closer to the 4-yr/$68m/$42 m guaranteed gave . Jones wants to be closer to deal Frank Clark just got (5yr/$104m/$63m guaranteed). Jeffri Chadiha (@jeffrichadiha) MORE:After skipping offseason workouts, Jones showed up to training camp to learn Spagnuolo's system. Wanting to be paid like a premier pa s rusher, he opted to play out the final year of his rookie contract in hopes of getting a big extension the following offseason. That new contract didn't come so easily.2020Coming off a Super Bowl victory, Jones appeared primed for a big payday.

"I feel good about where we're going to be with Chris."But onthe Tuesday before the start of camp, he wasn't sure if Jones would show up.I dont know that, Reid said. Well have to just see how that goes. I mean there is communication going on, thats the important part. Then, we just have to see.According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the two sides remain far apart in negotiations.Chiefs All-Pro DT Chris Jones, who has been seeking a new deal this off-season, did not report with the rest of the team to training camp today, per source.

He was named first-team All-Pro and finished third in Defensive Player of the Year voting.It was Jones' best season since making the switch to tackle in Spagnuolo's defense in 2019.
