Chiefs’ Chris Jones Posts Cryptic Tweet Days Ahead of NFL Free Agency
Kansas City Chiefs star undefined had some fun with the internet Thursday when he made a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter) as NFL free agency nears. Jones, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent should he and the Chiefs not agree to a deal, simply posted a picture of him celebrating Super Bowl LVIII with the caption “KC…….”
During the team’s Super Bowl parade in February, Jones went as far as to declare that he’d be returning to the team, saying, “I need three of those rings, baby, we ain’t done yet. Kansas City, we will be back here next year. And for those who want Chris Jones gone, I ain’t going nowhere, baby!”
