Kansas City Chiefs star defensive lineman Chris Jones officially ended his holdout. Jones and the Chiefs agreed to a revised one-year deal. He will still be set to be an unrestricted free agent next off-season.

Exploring Chris Jones' contract details

Chris Jones signed a one-year revised contract for this season. Earlier, he signed a four-year $80 million deal in 2020 and was set to earn $19.5 million this season.

With the revised contract, he is set to make north of $20 million, a figure that could rise to a total of $25 million. His base salary remains the same ($19.5 million) but the new deal will be heavily incentivized to smoothen things out.

Jones will be a free agent at the end of the deal, but the franchise could slap the franchise tag on their defensive star.

Following the announcement that the team agreed with Chris Jones on a revised deal, general manager Brett Veach spoke about getting the deal done and what Jones means to the team as a leader.

Veach said in a statement to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport:

"Chris is an elite player in this league, and over the last seven years, he's really developed into a leader on our team. He's been instrumental to our success and Super Bowl championship runs and it was a priority for us to keep him in a Chiefs uniform.

"I'd like to thank Chris and his representation, Michael and Jason Katz, for their desire and patience to get this done. Through this process two things were obvious, Chris wanted to be a Chief, and the Katz brothers worked diligently on his behalf."

Jones will make his season debut this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chiefs will look to avoid starting the season 0-2 as they lost to the Detroit Lions on Thursday night.
