Contract is about $1 million overpriced at the current cap, but Jones is a legitimate top pairing guy, and I imagine he wouldn't have agreed to a trade or contract with Chicago if they didn't pay top dollar. He was already making $5.4 million. This will look better if the cap goes up some over the next few years. This contract only takes him to 34. Pretty solid deal in place for your anchor on defense, and they didn't give up a ton to get him either.
