Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones did not appear at any of the three open sessions during voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) — or for Days 1 and 2 of this week’s mandatory minicamp.
Considering that Jones is entering the final year of his four-year contract with the team — and he has a strong argument that he should be paid a top-of-the-market salary for his services — this shouldn’t be surprising. Jones also skipped mandatory minicamp in 2019 during that year’s contract negotiations.
“That’s his choice,” said head coach Andy Reid on Thursday.
