Just because one person does something does not mean others should just follow. Case in point Deshaun Watson.
Now people might not be badmouthing Bosa on here like Jones because they are not following Bosa because he is not a Chief. At this point nothing Jones is doing is benefitting him which many on here are saying. Also if KC was lowballing Jones and he refused it and people on here bad mouthed Jones you would have a point.
There have been zero signs that KC is doing that. They appear to want to make him the 2nd highest paid DT in football. But that contract would most likely be closer to the current #2 and not Donald. If accurate then Jones is the problem. KC can't just pay him close to $30 million a year AAV with a ton guaranteed as he pushes 30 and will most likely start to decline. Doing so hurts the team long term in signing other players that will come due. Jones has to be willing to budge some and to sit out like he is shows bad faith on his part.

Neither side has leaked numbers.
An extension will be the best thing for the team, there would be a cost to the Chiefs in not getting a deal done and if the truth the other players learn is that the 49ers made Nick Bosa no. 1 or no. 2 highest paid defender and the Chiefs do not offer Jones, at least, Joey Bosa or TJ Watt money, it will not be good for morale of the team.
Or even the league, for that matter. How much will Jerry Jones have to pay Micah Parsons to answer for how ****ed up it is that teams and fans never question an injured-ass Bosa or an injured-ass Watt always getting the deal they demand?
That is the reality of the situation.
