I don't see how they could cave now. It would make them look weak, and it might encourage other players to attempt the same thing.

At least if Jones ends his holdout, he can save face by saying something like "I made my point, I'm under contract, I want to play, I want to win back to back Super Bowls, we'll take care of this next year," etc.

What would the Chiefs say? "We panicked."

The Chiefs would have so much to lose, if he falls off as a player it'll be wow the Chiefs wasted some of Mahomes years getting duped by Jones.
