Chiefs Locked and Loaded for Dynasty Attempt with Chris Jones Deal

The D-word has been thrown at the Chiefs ever since Patrick Mahomes was extended for the next decade. As fun as it's been to imagine there was a dark cloud hanging over the dream: the threat of Chris Jones sitting out and leaving the team loomed over the organization. That worry is no more. Kansas City has reached a four-year deal with Jones for an $85 million deal that includes $60 million in guarantees, per Adam Schefter.The Chiefs now have their two best (and most important) players locked up for a run in a post-Tom Brady-Patriots NFL.As heart-sinking as this is to hear for the 31 other NFL teams: Kansas City is winning the offseason. In addition to locking up Mahomes and Jones, it returns 20 of 22 starters and its entire coaching staff. In case a refresher is needed, that squad just won the Super Bowl by outscoring its opponents 117-75 in the playoffs. That includes taking a quarter and half off against the Texans.Just to make the nightmares worse, the Chiefs' run included injuries to Jones and Travis Kelce; star rookie Juan Thornhill had to miss the postseason due to an ACL injury.Fox Bet set the over/under of Super Bowl victories for Mahomes at 1.5.Man, I'm enticed knowing the best player in the NFL, and it's not even close, has those weapons and Jones on defense for the foreseeable future.
