1). Donald at $31.66M
2). Q. Williams at $24M
3). Simmons at $23.5M
4). Payne at $22.5M
5). Lawrence at $22.5M
6). Hargrave at $21M
7). L. Williams at $21M
8). Buckner at $21M
9). Chris Jones at $20M
Looks like the “norm” is elite guys that resets the DT market raise the average by $500k. With that in mind Jones should be a new contract worth $24.5M average. Donald’s $31.66M shouldn’t even be looked at.
Even if Veach wanted to award Jones and go beyond that $500K increase a $25M average should be good for both sides with the ONLY thing in discussion should be 3 year or 4 year extension.
Asking for $30M+ is ridiculous and Veach should trade his ass.

That's not the way it works. Guys get contracts and people use that contract all the time. Also to act like those guys are anywhere near Chris Jones level is hilarious. Yeah Donald is a top 5 defensive player of all time, but that doesn't mean no one can come close to his deal.
Williams at $24M - 1x 1st team AP
Simmons at $23.5M - 2x 2nd team AP
Payne at $22.5M - made a pro bowl
Lawrence at $22.5M - made a pro bowl
Hargrave at $21M - made a pro bowl
L. Williams at $21M - made a pro bowl
Buckner at $21M - 1x 1st team AP, 1x 2nd team AP
Now Chris Jones
2x SB champ, 1x 1st team AP, 3x 2nd team AP, DPOTY finalist
Two of those 2nd team All-Pros could easily be 1st team.
Just because those dumb shits are one upping each other by $500k a year doesn't mean Chris Jones should. Yeah he's not on Aaron Donald's level, but those other guys aren't on Jones' level.
