Possible Bengals target Chris Jones declares he isn’t leaving Chiefs

Cincinnati Bengals fans on social media have consistently zeroed in on Kansas City Chiefs superstar Chris Jones as a player they want the team to go out and get in free agency.

But Jones, who just sparked his team to a Super Bowl victory, made it clear during the parade that he has no intention of leaving the Chiefs this offseason.

He kept the proclamation short and sweet: “And for those who want Chris Jones gone, I ain’t goin’ nowhere, baby! I will be here this year, next year, and the year after!”

In fact, it was eyebrow-raising considering Jones is scheduled to be a free agent. So much so, that his agent even went on Twitter and suggested they stop serving Jones drinks.

Joking aside, the Chiefs will probably find a way to retain Jones, giving him what he wants while pursuing a three-peat.

For the Bengals, Jones indeed makes a lot of sense given what a weakness the overall defensive line was last season. That’s only amplified now that DJ Reader suffered the season-ending injury that casts his return date in doubt (on top of being a free agent, too).

But for the social media-suggested pairing to happen, it sounds like the unexpected would need to happen between Jones and the Chiefs.
