Funny thing is, everybody knows Bosa will not come in unless he is the highest paid defensive player, period.
Considering that Nick Bosa and his agent have made similar decisions and neither Jones nor the Chiefs have leaked offer terms, it is best to see how both situations play out compared to the other before judging or getting emotional about it.
It is naive to think that not extending Chris Jones is the play here. At some point, Chiefs defensive players need to see one of their own treated like a star..
Spotrac estimates a 16 million increase in salary cap per year for the next several years.
I don't think it would look good for Chiefs if Nick Bosa gets extended as highest paid defender in the league and Chiefs do not bump their last offer to something they expect Chris Jones will accept.

Highest paid DE is TJ Watt at $28M a year. Trade Jones for Bosa and give him the money that we supposedly offered CJ and move on. (Edit: Website I looked at originally had old numbers)
