I don't think anyone has any issue with Chris Jones being paid $20+ mil. per year going forward. But he shouldn't be asking for Aaron Donald's contract (or more). Donald is the reigning NFL DPOY and 1st Team All Pro four of the last 5 years. Chris Jones is not Aaron Donald.
The Chiefs have a cap to think about going forward and a QB that is about to breakthrough every contract barrier ever known to professional football players.
If Jones can perform like Aaron Donald-lite in his age 24 and age 25 seasons, then I have no issue with them sitting down after this season and discussing giving him Aaron Donald money. But he needs to do it first.
He's had ONE elite season to this point. I love Jones, but pump the breaks on 'pay him like Donald'.
