The Chiefs placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on Jones in March. July 15th is the deadline for teams to sign franchise-tagged players to a long-term contract.
This deal will make Jones, who was set to make $16.1 for the 2020 season, the second-highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history behind Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams.
