Chris Jones won't have to wait so long to cash in this year. The Kansas City Chiefs' star defensive tackle will be among the headliners when free agency opens next week and he could eclipse Aaron Donald's three-year, $96 million deal that made Donald the league's highest-paid defensive tackle. Teams can begin negotiating Monday and can sign players starting Wednesday.
