Rhodes/Jones locker room brawl.

Did this cause the departure of both of them? Was Faneca involved? This fight could have caused a split in the locker room amongst players. Not a good morale booster or a team trying to jell as a team. Theres more than meets the eye here.

i heard about it on one of the rumor sites. i don't recall when it reportedly happened but i don't think it was after the colts game.

i also don't think there was much of a brawl, but fights happen all the time in locker rooms.

If this were the kind of fight that happens all the time in locker rooms Revis would have helped pull Jones off Rhodes instead of just standing there laughing at him.

btw, i heard another rumor that revis didn't like rhodes that much. that may be more of a reason rhodes was jettisoned.

What a sight this would have been...Rhodes doesn't like to hit, and Jones goes down on first contact. Must've lasted awhile that way :)

Is there any kind of a link to any of this?

Just before the playoffs, Kerry and Thomas Jones got into a scuffle where both threw punches. I was told that TJ won the fight but both players had to be pulled off each other.

: The coaches also had to pull Rhodes and Jones apart. The brawl happened right before the playoffs. Rhodes

Rhodes was benched mid-season and was a preening bitch that never bought into the system. A system that obviously works even with a ***** playing safety. Jones was due such a big bonus that 90% of us knew he was going to be cut during this offseason back when he signed his deal. I'm sure this scuffle was a non-issue. If Jones were dumped for anything to do with this fight it would be for not beating Rhodes severely enough.

TJ money = LT money same pay day for both-------:confused:

:confused:

Not really. Not really close. Jones was due a $5M roster bonus plus his $1M salary. LT got $5M for 2 years. If you're thinking that Jones would renegotiate to stay, there were numerous reports that the Jets made offers to Jones and he felt insulted that they cut him and wouldn't come back. Besides, LT is probably a better back and certainly more versatile, so why not take him for the same money?

Or for less than half for that matter.
