lol..is he a solid backup hahah

I would trade a high pick for Jones if the contract price is right. He would elevate our RB position to true elite status.

I think he would be amenable to sharing the load for the right price, especially for a potential SB team.

He wants to be a starter and he is a solid starter why would split carries and get paid like a split or backup back when he is a featured back,

Umm, then why is he wanting out of that exact situation in Chicago?

Dude wants to start. He has been very very vocal about his role as starter and being "the man" ever since Benson was drafted. I think fact that Chicago was working Benson more into rotation in the playoffs caused TJ to see writing on the wall.

He wants to go to a team, start, and get paid. In that order.

TJ wanted out last year aswell. he wants to be paid more and doesnt want a young stud behind him..he knows Benson would eventually take over unless he played like LT. He knows the organization picked Benson at #4 or w.e and that they WANT to get him playing and not sort of have it go to waste

I can see Thomas Jones doing a good job for another team and I hope the Bears know something about Cedric Benson that I have not seen cause he has not shown me anything when I have watched the Bears play.

Da Bears seem to be having some internal issues since they lost the SB.
