2. Chris Jones

Over the last couple of years, Chris Jones has worked his way into the conversation of being a top defender in the league, and played a key role in helping the Chiefs finally earn a trip to the Super Bowl.

One year after setting a career high of 15.5 sacks, Jones came up big once again in 2019 by finishing with nine sacks for Kansas City along with Pro Bowl honors in the process.

The fact that Kansas City managed to land Jones in the second round of the draft back in 2016 shows how much of a steal this turned out to be, but also this means Jones will be in for a hefty pay raise this offseason.

For obvious reasons, there’s a good chance the Chiefs will do everything in their power to bring back Jones to keep the defense in the best shape possible.

But since free agency will most likely see plenty of other teams expressing interest in Jones as well, Kansas City could find themselves in position competing with other teams, some of which may be willing to offer more money.

Since the Eagles could always use extra pass rushers, and have the money to spend, Jones could make an intriguing target at the right price.
