Sharrow Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 For a draft pick apparantly, just saw it on sportscenter. I don't think they said which pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcat21 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hope thats not true. Two 2nd rounders for Jones is way to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVM Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hope he's worth it. As do we all. And hopefully it was our 2nd rounder, not the one we got from Wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hope thats not true. Two 2nd rounders for Jones is way to much. I read it as Jones and THEIR 2008 2nd-rounder for our 2nd rounder, so it would probably be our early one if it plays out this way. Their 2nd-rounder next year typically carries the weight of their 1st rounder this year, so this makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gang_green03 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm not happy with this deal. He's a solid back but old and the fact that we gave up a 2nd rounder for him really pisses me off. It BETTER be our 2nd and not Washington's. He should be solid for us for another year or two and is a nice combo with Leon, but we gave up to much. He's not worth a 2nd round choice. I guess it softens the blow that we get theirs in 08' but, like I said, we better not have given up Washington's pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORRECT we GET JONES & 08 2nd Rnd Pick for 1 of oour 2nd this yr...i could be wrong but that is what i thought i heard them say and if thats the case I like that trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Decent pick-up. We got Thomas Jones which is nice but at what cost? We're at 59 and 63 now, lets see if those are packaged to move up. One thing is for sure, the Vilma to Detroit at #2 is pretty much a done deal not to happen now that we will have no interest in Adrian Peterson.

CoachTsurfing Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 ok. I just saw the espn ticker. We give them our first second and we get thomas and the bears second. that is really a good deal if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenBeans Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 link - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2788962 For the lazy: Sources: Bears to swap Jones for Jets draft pick ESPN.com news services According to league sources, the Bears have agreed to trade RB Thomas Jones and a 2007 second-round pick (No. 63 overall) to the Jets for a 2007 second-round pick -- No. 37 overall -- which was acquired previously in a trade from Washington, ESPN.com's Michael Smith reported. Thomas Jones Running Back Chicago Bears Profile 2006 SEASON STATISTICS Rush Yds TD Rec Yds TD 296 1210 6 36 154 0 The Jets still have two picks in the second round -- No. 59 and now No. 63. The Jets and Jones' representative Drew Rosenhaus are believed to be working on a new contract with Jones, whose unhappiness with his Bears contract led to him skipping off-season workouts this past season. The Bears now have the No. 31st (first round) and 37th overall picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 So it looks like that trade-down from last year has further parlayed into Thomas Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees2022 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Not their pick #63 this year. NEXT year's 2nd-rounder. Wonder why Chicago would do this. In terms of trade value for draft picks, it's roughly free for us. But then we do have to give him a new contract. in my views this is a very good deal for us.. thomas has proven he is an ever down back who can break tackles pretty easily very strong runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
