‘I prioritize winning’… Kansas City Chiefs star shares reasons why he did not test free agency

The Kansas City Chiefs are making key offseason decisions that are in the best interest of their ‘three-peat’ campaign.

Key pieces of the regime that have won successive titles are returning for another shot at glory.

Who does not want to miss out on this legendary season potentially in the making?

Chris Jones and Mike Danna return to the defensive line

Brett Veach squashed the biggest contract situation when he signed Chris Jones to a five-year deal.

In the process, they had to say goodbye to star cornerback L’Jarius Sneed as he was traded to Nashville.

Jones is not the only defensive lineman who is confirmed to be returning for the 2024 season.

Mike Danna has signed a three-year deal worth up to $24 million.

This is a key piece reinstated to the D-line as Danna is coming off his best season in the NFL.

In 2023, Danna registered a career-high in QB pressures (41), quarterback hits (13), and sacks (6.5).

When the news broke about the new deal on the table, fellow teammate Jones took to X and shared his excitement.

Additionally, Danna logged 745 defensive snaps last year and only trailed George Karlaftis in this category.

Kansas City broke the official news that all the paperwork was signed yesterday.

The defensive end spoke about what the key reasons were for staying put in Kansas.

Danna exclaimed: “You know I kinda prioritized winning, the family I’ve built here, my brotherhood.

“I look forward to going to work every day here. When you got that feeling you don’t really wanna let it go. There’s always somewhere else.

“I have a lot of stuff invested here a lot of work. A lot of grind and a lot of sweat and tears. Why not go for a three-peat?”

Danna appreciates the culture and winning mentality that the Chiefs have built in Missouri.

It is a testament to the Chiefs values that the 26-year-old decided to stay put and not test free agency.

As he confessed, he could have sought for more money in the open market but the Chiefs dragged him back.

Furthermore, the Chiefs, despite their success, have developed a culture that has been the birthplace of a dynasty.

Danna will hunt for the ‘three-peat’ alongside Chris Jones on the defensive line.
