Jones has the 16th highest salary this year among WRs.

So no, that's not about right for a #2 WR. Jones was paid #1 money and was signed to replace Calvin Johnson. He's been a flop. Yeah, we were better when we had Jones, but that's more due to the fact that (a) aside from Jones, we've had crappy #2 WRs and (b) our line was much better when Marvin was a Bengal.
