Unless Jones falls apart, there's no real reason to compare his situation to Gordon's'. Gordon was coming off two injury plagued years and really bad performance in '19.
I think the starting point, if Jones is healthy or extends now, is David Johnson money. $39 million, $13 average, $24 guaranteed. That's on talent and production. The interesting thing though, is as mentioned, the market could be flooded with backs next spring, though Jones is arguably the 2nd best back in the class behind Henry.
