SoFlaJets Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 YIKES!!!! Posted by Aaron Wilson on February 27, 2009, 6:32 a.m. EST Former Detroit Lions first-round running back Kevin Jones has been targeted as a free agent worthy of consideration by several teams, according to a league source. Jones is on the radar of the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, St. Louis Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Drafted in the first round out of Virginia Tech, Jones spent last season with the Chicago Bears. He rushed for 109 yards on 34 carries last season, playing in 11 games with no starts. Jones has 3,176 career rushing yards and 24 touchdowns with 143 career receptions for 1,011 yards and three touchdown catches. Jones, 26, has a respectable 4.0 average per carry in 49 career starts.

JetsFan220 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thomas is older and Leon is not an every-down back so we should start looking at this position...but I wouldn't start here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well anyway KJ's name was bandied about-along with almost every other POS scrub RB that was available back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 RB is really a position that I like to draft. They have short careers, and can generally play at a high level as rookies. Not a position I like the team to trade for, or spend too many FA dollars on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdropOFvenom Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Jones is a nice little back if healthy, problem is he's never healthy. We're probably better off looking to the draft here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Kevan Barlow thank you 220...getting old SUCKS when you can't remember your starting back from 3 years ago's name-or maybe it was b/c he didn't leave a very big impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Why? We have the AFC's leading rusher and Leon Washington so in a word, why? Watch us trade Leon for a WR or ILB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Leon is not on this team next year you better hope that our defense shuts out every team we play. He make this offense go..hell....he makes this team go!

Thomas Jones is going to be 31 years old, he might have relatively young legs due to being a bench player/committee back his first 4 years, but you still have to safeguard yourself against him potentially hitting the wall. I'd like to draft someone in the 3rd or 4th round to groom behind him and Leon for a year, and eventually split carries with Leon once TJ is done.

He make this offense go..hell....he makes this team go! He SHOULD be making this Offense go, problem is he's been underutilized on Offense the last couple years so he really hasn't. I'm hoping Schottenheimer is making it a priority to figure out ways to get the ball into his hands more often next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch us trade Leon for a WR or ILB. hey Joe last night somebody posted a rumor-thread about a 3 way trade with us, Cleveland and somebody else with us ending up with Braylon Edwards. Anybody think Mangini is that stoopit? Oh wait that's the guy who gave away a starting playoff QB to A DIVISION RIVAL for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
