Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes helped resolve Chris Jones’ extension with a text message

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes played a part in keeping DT Chris Jones around on a long-term deal.Things didn’t appear to be going well in contract negotiations between the Chiefs and Jones, at least to the public eye.Jones had been vocal, really dating back to when the team placed the franchise tag on him, that he didn’t want to play on the franchise tag.So what changed the fortunes between the Chiefs and Jones that led to a long-term deal? .Apparently, it was a text message from the recently-extended star QB Patrick Mahomes.Me, personally, I kind of had a feeling a deal was going to get done. Crazy story actually: When Pat’s deal got done, as soon as his deal got done, Pat texts me and said, ‘Let’s get this thing done. I left some on the table, let’s get this thing done.’, Chris Jones told reporters.That’s when I had the security that me and the Chiefs were going to work something out. I was confident that they were going to make sure we get something done, Chris Jones told reporters
