Chiefs, Jones agree on contract

Kansas City, Mo. — A person familiar with the situation tells the Associated Press that the Kansas City Chiefs and second-round draft pick Chris Jones have agreed to terms on a contract.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because the team had not announced the deal.

The Chiefs traded away their first-round pick last weekend, so Jones was their first selection with the No. 37 overall pick. The 6-foot-6, 308-pound defensive tackle out of Mississippi State is the first of their eight picks to sign, though most should be in the fold by this weekend.

The Chiefs begin a three-day rookie minicamp Saturday.

Jones should join a defensive line rotation that includes Dontari Poe, Jaye Howard and Allen Bailey but lost veteran Mike DeVito to retirement. Nick Williams and Rakeem Nunez-Roches are also on the roster.
