Chris Jones calls out Donte Whitner over controversial Super Bowl LVIII comments; Whitner continues to spread conspiracy theories surrounding the Chiefs’ victory.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones is known for his dominance on the field, but he’s also making waves off the gridiron. Jones recently took aim at former NFL safety Donte Whitner for comments Whitner made about the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

In a now-deleted tweet, Jones quoted a clip from Whitner’s interview with FanDuel TV’s Kay Adams and commented, “Tend to make excuses for your failures. Shut up.” Whitner had shared his thoughts on the Super Bowl, suggesting that the 49ers played against the referees and even pop star Taylor Swift, in addition to the Chiefs. “And when we think about the Super Bowl as well, I think that the 49ers played against the refs as well, guys,” said Whitner.

The former player went further: “I think that when we look at that film, you see bear hugs on those defensive ends, right, and you really see it in blatant moments in a game. The 49ers played against Taylor Swift, the refs, and the Kansas City Chiefs-all three.”

Jones’s response highlights his fierce loyalty to his team and his willingness to defend its accomplishments. His performance on the field has been outstanding, with 22.5 sacks over the last two seasons, leading the Chiefs to reward him with a historic contract extension. The Chiefs signed Jones to a five-year, $158.75 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history. The deal includes a $30 million signing bonus and $95 million guaranteed money, ensuring Jones’s future with the team until 2028.

Jones’s new contract details include a $60 million guaranteed at signing, with additional incentives that could see him earn up to $31 million in roster bonuses in 2025 and 2026. Despite the hefty price tag, the Chiefs are confident in Jones’s ability to perform and lead their defense for years to come. With Jones’ fiery attitude on and off the field, the Chiefs can expect continued success with their star defensive tackle leading the charge.
