He gets $1 million for participating in 35 percent of the defensive snaps. He gets another $1 million for participating in 50 percent of the snaps.

He had an existing $1.25 million incentive for reaching 10 sacks. That now increases to $1.75 million if he has 15 sacks.

Also, he gets $1 million is he’s named a first-team All-Pro and if the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl. He gets another $2 million if he’s named defensive player of the year and the Chiefs win the Super Bowl.

The $2.1 million in training camp fines were not waivable; he needs to make that back through his incentives — along with the lost game check. Thus, if he hits every incentive, he’ll end up with a net of $22.16667 million.

Honestly, the training camp fines are wiped out by his missed preseason.

He has 3M tied to the he chiefs making it to the super-bowl (plus other personal stuff), which is out of his control.

Chris Jones has had over 15 sacks twice in his career but with no camp (rust) and a missed game, that’s going to also be a tall task. They also lost Frank Clark this off-season.

The way I see it, 22.16667m - 3M, - 1.75m =17.41m

If he skipped camp and showed ip week one he would have earned 19.5m- 2.1m in camp fines or 17.4m.

Essentially the chiefs are not penalizing him for the missed camp and if the team does incredible, he “could” make more, albeit unlikely.

He caved.
