Did Chris Jones just tease that he will re-sign with the Chiefs?

Chris Jones has been a cornerstone of the Kansas City Chiefs defense for years. He is set to become a free agent next week if the team can’t agree with him on a contract extension, but the star lineman’s latest post to Twitter may indicate that Jones is leaning toward re-signing in Kansas City.

Check out his cryptic tweet below to see his message:

While this tweet is far from concrete evidence that the Chiefs have a deal to keep Jones on their roster, it seems to signal that negotiations are progressing well.

Kansas City elected to use its franchise tag on defensive back L’Jarius Sneed after using it on Jones last year, so if no agreement is reached, the defensive lineman will hit the open market.

Nothing official has been reported by the Chiefs yet, but if this enigmatic post is any indication, Kansas City’s fans may get some good news about Jones’ contract situation in the coming days.
