Jones wears a knee brace on his right leg when playing, maybe that is more an injury prevention thing. But if Jones play was DPOY level when he was playing for his next contract, I doubt he has the same level of play if he has to survive the year healthy to get a long term deal from another team.

One side of it is playing safe and not getting hurt. The other side is that if you want to get paid like a top 5 player in the NFL, you have to, you know, play like a top 5 player in the NFL.
He's not getting a deal that rivals Donald's and is clear of the next grouping of DTs if he comes out and has a mediocre year. The only way he gets that deal is either (1) from the Chiefs, right now; (2) if he has another All-Pro, dominant season
