The Kansas City Chiefs are signing running back Ronald Jones II in their latest move following Tyreek Hill’s trade, according to reports. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said the Chiefs would look to give Jones a one-year contract worth up to $5million.
The Chiefs are overhauling their offense after failing to negotiate a new contract with Hill, who headed to the Miami Dolphins in return for five draft picks. One of those picks is in the first round this year, giving the Chiefs the opportunity to potentially replace Hill with a top receiver prospect, but they have also been busy in free agency. JuJu Smith-Schuster was followed to Kansas City by fellow wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, while Jones provides an alternative pass-catching option at running back.
