Maybe the Chiefs were under the impression that Jones number would come down to be closer to Williams number rather than hanging around Donald's number.
Maybe Jones camp thought Williams would get more and said that they would reassess after the Williams signing to give CJ95 more leverage to get Aaron Donald type money, and when that didn't pan out, they chose to stick to their guns.
Both camps probably had expectations of what would happen after the Williams signing, and it seems possible that both camps incorrectly assessed how the opposing camp would react to Williams signing.

If he's wanting to get to 30 or close to Donald, I don't see how Williams number means anything here.
