I agree that it’s worrisome that he had knee surgery in consecutive years, but I have a hard time believing his career is suddenly going downhill bc of 2 relatively minor injuries compared to an ACL (or ACL+PCL/MCL).
If he plays well the next 2 years injury free, would you give him an extension?

If he plays the next two season without any sort of offseason surgery then yes; he's definitely worth a 2nd contract. But I don't think they can wait two full seasons to extend him or they will have Dorsey'd themselves (This was Dorsey's go to move, wait on extensions and then have no leverage and get bent over backwards by agents)
He's an interesting case because he's a 2nd round pick, they lose that 5th year of control (which is why I think 1sts are so valuable now, you get 5 years of control and 6th if you franchise tag.) Jones could very easily walk after year 4 or they would have to tag him.
He could very well be worn into the ground by then thanks to King Sutton's terrible scheme so this is all moot. But he will still only be like 25 by the time he's a FA which is crazy young to see your 2nd deal these days. But this will be year 3 so I think if they are going to get a jump on an extension that is the best bang for the buck for the team, it would be sometime during this upcoming season.
