Predicting which 2024 Chiefs free agents will stay or go

The 2023 training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs is underway, but one prominent player is noticeably absent—star defensive tackle Chris Jones.

Jones' absence is attributed to his desire for additional financial security beyond this year, as he is set to become a free agent after the 2023 season.

Undoubtedly, Chris Jones is a key player and one of the most significant free agents for the Chiefs in 2024. However, he's not the lone player facing potential free agency after this season.

Let's take a closer look at ten of the most prominent free agents (in no particular order) for the Chiefs in 2024 and make a prediction on whether they will stay or go after this year.

Chris Jones, Defensive Tackle

Let's begin with the elephant in the room and briefly discuss Chris Jones' future.

This situation is tough for Brett Veach and the rest of the front office. On one hand, Jones is one of the best defensive players in the NFL. On the other hand, he's quickly approaching 30 years old.

In the end, I do believe that the Chiefs will re-sign Chris Jones. I can't say whether that will come in the coming weeks or next February/March, but I think it will happen.

I'm not super confident as this situation is volatile but if you made me pick one side, it would be staying.

Verdict: Staying
