Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones could have a pretty huge payday following the Chiefs’ upcoming game against the Denver Broncos.
Kansas City Chiefs star Chris Jones has a pretty good shot at making a ton of money if he has a solid performance this Denver Broncos this week.
According to an article by ESPN’s Michael Rothstein, all Jones needs to get is one more sack to get a pretty see incentive. Just how much money could Jones get? According to Rothstein, Jones could get paid $1.25 million if he gets that sack against Denver.
That’s a pretty solid amount of money. It’s more than what Antonio Brown forfeited in the controversial debacle with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last weekend.

All Jones needs to do against the Broncos is have a pretty good game. That’s not unreasonable to ask of him. But, he hasn’t exactly been super productive on that front for most of this season. Jones’ contract incentive requires that he get to 10 sacks this year. So far, Jones has nine sacks through 13 games this season.
However, his impressive performance against the Cincinnati Bengals makes this possible. He got two sacks last week, which put him in position to be able to get to his incentive against Denver this week.
The Broncos offensive line hasn’t been great at protecting quarterbacks this season. Broncos quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater and and Drew Lock have been sacked a total of 39 times this season.
