The Chiefs are projected to be right at the salary cap when the new league year starts in 2024, so it would be incredibly challenging, if not undoable, to clear out the room to be able to tag defensive tackle Chris Jones.
Therefore, even if they could tag Jones, they are not expected to do so, creating a situation in which the star defensive tackle is almost assured of becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2024, if he so chooses.
The Chiefs know that getting Jones back for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, and the rest of the season, was important for their defense and long-term chances. The Chiefs are expected to use Jones on passing downs and important defensive plays. He could play anywhere from 20 to 30 plays against the Jaguars, depending on how he feels, a league source said.
