Kansas city chiefs,Chris Jones Celebrates his 30th Birthday his in Kansas City

the stalworth defensive lineman can’t help but wonder if this will be his last time suiting up in a Chiefs’ uniform.

“Unfortunately, I don’t control the future,” Jones told reporters on Thursday. “It’s always been in my plans to be a Chief for life, but that’s with the GM and the owner. They got to get together and see where do I fit for the future of this team.”

Jones held out from offseason activities, hoping to sign a new contract to stay with the team long-term. After the holdout bled into Week 1 of the regular season, Jones and the organization agreed to a new, incentive-laden one-year contract, putting their differences aside for the team’s sake. But with one more game left in the season, the time has come to, once again, deal with Jones’ contract situation.

“If it is [my last game with the Chiefs], these eight years have been more than grateful,” Jones acknowledged. “Whatever may come out, I put my trust in the higher power and the higher being. I always know whatever it is, it’ll work out.”
