Superstar NFL quarterbacks often get their offensive line lavish gifts for Christmas, as they are the ones who protect the QB from massive, angry defensive linemen on a weekly basis.

defensive linemen on a weekly basis. Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is no exception. He got the Chiefs’ offensive line golf carts for Christmas this year. Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones would love to do the same for his D-line teammates, but there is one major issue: Jones doesn’t make Patrick Mahomes money.

“Listen, we don’t have Patrick’s contract, OK? ‘Til the Chiefs start paying me 50 million, I can’t afford golf carts,” Jones (probably) joked, per KSHB 41 Sports anchor Aaron Ladd. “But I do get the D-line Rolexesafter I get 10 sacks. So, I don’t got 10 sacks, nobody getting nothing.”

Chris Jones, who has 7.5 sacks on the season heading into Week 16, is likely a little sensitive about his paycheck these days. He held out through training camp and into the regular season this year in a dispute with the Chiefs over a big-money extension. In the end, the All-Pro DT signed a one-year, $19,500,000 contract.
