That has mostly been limited to upgrades of facilities in the wake of the league-wide report cards, though. But the five-time Pro Bowler is very aware of the team\u2019s personnel moves as well, and the latest one caught his attention.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs re-signed edge rusher Mike Danna to a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1776378130673840456\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">three-year, $24 million contract<\/a>, per NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport, adding details to colleague Mike Garafolo\u2019s initial reporting.<\/p>\n<h2>Chiefs&#8217; Chris Jones Reacts to Mike Danna&#8217;s New Contract<\/h2>\n<h3>Chris Jones Issues Warning to NFL Over Mike Danna<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s gooooooooooooo!!\u201d Jones exclaimed in a post on X on April 5. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StoneColdJones\/status\/1776385141989924971\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Y\u2019all in trouble<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Danna, 26, set career-highs with 6.5 sacks and 16 starts last season. Originally a fifth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Danna returns to a rotation that includes 2022 first-round draft pick George Karlaftis (10.5 sacks) and 2023 free agency acquisition Charles Omenihu (7.0 sacks).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chiefs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Chiefs<\/a> DE Mike Danna has 17 career sacks in the regular season.

They hoped to get public funding via a sales tax but saw the public vote against that plan of action.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of that, former Kansas House Speaker Ron Ryckman Jr. and Dallas, Texas Mayor Eric Johnson are at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfaa.com\/article\/news\/local\/dallas-texas-mayor-kansas-city-chiefs-stadium-vote-fail-renovations-eric-johnson\/287-f6b54141-4a21-4cac-8af0-f2a59741e61a\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">floating the idea<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/news\/politics-government\/article287357330.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chiefs moving<\/a> to their respective states. Jones, irrespective of those opinions, shared his opinion of where the team should play its home games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StoneColdJones\/status\/1773413662415319306\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Keep the stadium in KC<\/a>,\u201d Jones said in one post on March 28 before doubling back to the matter in another a short while later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StoneColdJones\/status\/1773414196648013828\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arrowhead Stadium is legendary<\/a>,\u201d he said in the other post.<\/p>\n<p>In between those sentiments, Jones called for a new in-stadium DJ, noting the current one \u201csucks,\u201d and put a Chiefs three-peat into the ether. They would be the first team in history to win three straight Super Bowls.<\/p>\n<h3>L\u2019Jarius Sneed Clears Air Over Knee Issue<\/h3>\n<p>The Chiefs traded cornerback L\u2019Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans for a swap of seventh-round picks in this year\u2019s draft and a third-round pick in 2025. That return was widely viewed as a bargain and some pointed to potential questions about his health as a reason.<\/p>\n<p>Sneed unequivocally put those rumors to bed during his introductory press conference with the Titans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAin&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MEiM_Q8f87k\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nothing wrong with my knee<\/a>. I&#8217;m fine,\u201d Sneed told reporters on April 2. \u201cI played the whole season, and the years before that I played as well. I had a couple problems I had a banged-up knee before. But I&#8217;m good right now. Nothing is really wrong with my knee. \u2026 I know what to do with my knee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sneed has missed a total of three games in the last three seasons. He also logged no fewer than 94% of the defense\u2019s snaps in that span. That includes a career-high 99% this past season.<\/p>\n<p>That would seem to back his claims that he is healthy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Lucas Peltier-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro defensive lineman Chris Jones shared strong thoughts on teammate Mike Danna&#8217;s new contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2879,"featured_media":168781,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[7811,298,9979,32031],"class_list":["post-168778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chiefs","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-chris-jones","tag-ljarius-sneed","tag-mike-danna"],"modified_by":"Josh Buckhalter","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2879"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168778"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168778\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
