Travis Kelce is imploring fellow All-Pro Chris Jones to end his holdout with the Chiefs before their season opener Thursday.
with his brother, Kelce immediately contorted his face into a frown from his usual grin and took a desperate tone. Jones is entering the final year of his $80 million, four-year contract and has been looking for a long-term deal that would make him the second-highest paid defensive tackle in the league.
Time is running out, though. The Chiefs' coaching staff began game-week preparations Friday, and the bulk of their game plan will be introduced during practices Sunday and Monday before a lighter workout Tuesday. "Listen, everybody makes their own decisions," Reid replied."That's the way it is in life. That's the way it is in football. Certain guys do it one way. Certain guys do it another way. Chris has chosen to go this route; some other guys have chosen to get their deals done and come in and play. I'm not here to criticize one way or another."
"He's the best defensive player in the league right now," Kelce added."He's deserving of all the money in the world."
