Rich Eisen is one of the most famous NFL media personalities out there. With his influence in the league, he can attract many NFL stars to his show, and just recently, Chris Jones gave him one of the most interesting pieces of information in a long time.
Jones is one of the premier players in the NFL and plays for one of the league’s most popular teams, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs edge rusher plays under the same head coach as players like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, so it’s always intriguing when we get tidbits from the locker room.
In his recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Jones revealed one of the more interesting rules the Chiefs bench boss has for his players, and honestly, it’s not what fans may expect to be important to a coach.
After being asked if he’s ever had to scold a teammate for anything, Jones replied that they usually “have talks” before explaining that it’s usually with rookies trying to understand the unwritten rules of the locker room.
No Black Cleats Allowed In The Chiefs Locker Room, According To Star Chris Jones
“Usually younger guys trying to figure out how to do things, mostly just showing them the way, showing them how it’s usually done here… or a new guy coming on the team and not understanding how this organization operates,” Jones explained before revealing that Reid doesn’t allow players to wear black cleats in the locker room.
“We don’t wear black cleats. It’s simple, but this organization has these little things that we follow by that sometimes players don’t know,” Jones continued before being asked why the players aren’t allowed to sport black cleats in the locker room.

“Listen, I don’t know… I just work here! I don’t make the rules,” claimed the three-time Super Bowl champion. While he may not be allowed to wear black cleats in the locker room, it’s probably for good reason, as the Chiefs are off to a perfect 4-0 start and look to make it 5-0 when they take on the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.

Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs is not only opening up his heart, but he wants to open his wallet to help free a woman from jail.
A former food service director at a school district in the Chicago area has been going insanely viral after she was sentenced to nine years in prison after admitting she stole $1.5 million worth of chicken wings.
Vera Liddell, who served in the director role for Harvey School District 152 near Chicago, is incarcerated at the Cook County Jail for theft and operating a criminal enterprise, according to CBS News.
Earlier this month, she pleaded guilty to the charges and got a nine-year prison sentence.
That is where Chris Jones wants to step in.
The Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle took to his X account to announce that he is ready to pay all the money required to free her from jail. The player wrote, “I’ll pay for the wings that she stole to get her free.”

Chris Jones wants to free Vera Lidell, who is said to be the mastermind behind the theft of mostly chicken wings over a two-year period.
It was reported that she placed separate orders for the wings via the district’s food provider, Gordon Food Service, and the orders were hidden from usual school operations.
Her operation lasted from July 2020 to February 2022, when the schools were forced to stay shut due to COVID-19.
Chris Jones can most certainly afford to pay the fee after he got this offseason.

Defensive tackle Chris Jones wants to help pay the fee for a former food service director who stole $1.5 million worth of chicken wings and has been sentenced to nine years in prison.
Jones can certainly pay it back as he resigned with the Chiefs earlier this year on a five-year deal with $95 million guaranteed.
This deal made Jones the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history.
