Jones to Bears or Steelers
Really, the Bears have been jonesing for a running game since trading Thomas Jones to the Jets in March 2007, a month after their last Super Bowl appearance. Can Kevin Jones help supply the potent 1-2 punch that has been missing since then? Apparently, the Bears are curious enough to take a good look at the ex-Lions running back, a former first-round draft pick who believes he can return to 1,000-yard form after two serious injuries the last two seasons. NFL sources said Jones was to take a physical and visit Halas Hall on Tuesday, one week before the Bears open training camp. Agent Tony Fleming told the Tampa Tribune late Monday that Jones would sign with the Bears or Steelers on Tuesday. Jones told the Tribune last month that the Bears would be his top choice among potential teams interested in him.

Jones would be stupid to go to Pittsburgh (where the backfield is already crowded) over Chicago (where the starting job would be his to lose).

This guy is okay as a third back. Other than that...

I still don't get the interest in Pittsburgh? Even after letting Davenport go, they have Parker, Mendenhall and Moore. The Steelers need depth at O-line, D-line and in the secondary.. not the backfield.

Why the Steelers? They have Willie Parker and just drafted Mendenhall. It doesn't make sense for him to be involved with Pittsburgh.
Chicago? Why not.

Bears need Jones much more than the Steelers. But that doesn't mean that they will sign him. Bears management does some bizarre stuff.

I think his agent has wishful thinking regarding the Steelers. I mean, after playing for the Lions for all that time, who wouldn't want to play for a winner like the Steelers. Maybe his agent is just trying to get interest in his client up.

He would end up being a better overall RB in Pittsburgh just due to the QB situation and the offense...Let's see, Roethlisberger vs. Grossman...Hmmmmm

Jones to Da Bears makes more sense here but I think this guy is a bust and no upgrade from Forte, AP II, and Wolfe. ALtough he was a BEAST at VA tech, I was there

Because they were boneheaded enough to think Cedirc Benson was the answer and that they didn't need Thomas Jones anymore.
