Chiefs ‘The Bulldozer’ Reworks Deal to Chase Super Bowl Glory👇

Kansas City, MO – July 7, 2025

A Kansas City Chiefs icon has restructured his contract, unlocking critical cap space to strengthen the team’s drive for the coveted Lombardi Trophy, sources told ESPN on Monday. The selfless act by defensive tackle Chris Jones has rallied Chiefs Kingdom as they chase Super Bowl LX redemption.

The veteran lineman, a three-time Super Bowl champion (2020, 2023, 2024), spoke candidly about his decision on a team podcast. “I’ve dreamed of more titles here in Kansas City,” Jones said. “This could be my last big push, and I don’t want to hold back the guys we need to win it all.” His latest restructure, finalized in March 2025, freed up $20.7 million in cap space by spreading his 2025 salary over future years, per team reports, reducing his cap hit from $34.9 million to $14.2 million.

Jones, 30, has been a defensive cornerstone since 2016, amassing 75.5 sacks and earning five Pro Bowl nods. His leadership was pivotal in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl runs, including a game-sealing stop in LVIII. Head coach Andy Reid hailed the move: “Chris is all about the team—his sacrifice keeps us in the fight.” The freed-up $11.2 million cap space allows GM Brett Veach to target upgrades at wide receiver or linebacker, supporting Patrick Mahomes’ 4,542-yard 2024 season.

Teammates, including Travis Kelce, praised Jones’ gesture: “He’s putting the team first—that’s why we’re champions.” Fans found on social media are ecstatic, with sentiments like “Jones is the heart of this defense!” and “Super Bowl LX is ours!” The restructure counters the 40-22 Super Bowl LIX loss, fueling a roster push.

As training camp nears on July 22, Jones’ commitment bolsters the defense. Can this strategic move propel the Chiefs to glory? Stay tuned to ESPN for updates
