The Chiefs entire roster reported for training camp on Sunday as live drills began in earnest. Well…almost the entire roster. Noticeable by his absence is all-world DT Chris Jones, who is sitting out camp over a contract extension dispute. The four-time Pro Bowler supposedly wants a deal that would give him $30 million a year and the Chiefs could be balking at that number.
Both Andy Reid and owner Clark Hunt were asked about the issue on Sunday and both were fairly vague in their responses.
