Jones has been a very very good player and had a great quasi-platform season. But he's not been Watt. In what was arguably Jones best season (2018) our defense was hot !@#$ing garbage. Even last season we were firmly mid-pack.
This team goes as Patrick Mahomes goes. But TJ Watt has been the anchor of a defense that was pretty instrumental in any success the Steelers had. His QBs have been the corpse of Big Ben and Kenny Pickett with a Mason Rudolph interlude. Why SHOULD the Chiefs pay Jones what the Steelers paid Watt?
And I think Jones is monumentally important to this team - but he's not as important to KC as Watt is to Pittsburgh. He's not as good in a vacuum. And that's the case with Watt, Bosa, Donald and Garrett - all the guys that are being paid more than him.
He's just not being reasonable.

Speaking of...what the hell is going on in SF? Nick Bosa is probably the only DL in the league currently that deserves an Aaron Donald contract. It's bizarre that they haven't gotten that done, especially with that team.
Damn John. You're the GM of a team that just shit away 3 draft picks and has a rookie QB contract on the books for at least 3 more years. What's the hold up?
You could make an argument for Micah Parsons, but Nick Bosa is that guy. He's incredible. Take him off that team and they suffer immensely.
I don't get it
