Thomas Jones formally requests a trade

jdlea · 02-23-2007, 03:07 PM

Just saw it on ESPNEWS. They said that they think the Bears will be willing to accomodate him because he's only got 1 year left and they have Cedric Benson. Should be interesting to see how that goes...

MTK · 02-23-2007, 03:12 PM

I'm betting he'll end up with the Giants.

F*CK. I hope he doesn't end up there. I actually like to watch Thomas Jones and I have a feeling he could find a way to kill the Skins about as badly as Tiki did...twice a year. ugh

dmek25 · 02-23-2007, 03:19 PM

Thomas Jones is about one fifth the running back Tiki is/was. i say bring it on. the jets might also be in the mix

Im not really sure whether some of you will deem this to be relevant to this thread...but im curious to know how some of you believe Ladell Betts' stock compares to Thomas Jones' stock at this time.

I like Ladell alot, but im gonna have to say that thomas jones probably has a higher value in most execs eyes...cause he's had two strong years in a row...whereas Ladell has only showcased his talent for less than a year...

Im interested to know what you guys think though..so weigh in...

Jones and the 95th pick (3rd round) to Houston for the #8
#8 and #63 (3rd round) to Redskins for #6

Lot of unhappy campers in Chi town. Kind of weird for a team just coming off a Super Bowl.

It is kinda odd Rivera being sacked and then the better RB asking for a trade ... and word in Briggs is mighty pissed by the tag

On top of that, they're dragging out the Lovie Smith contract. Although, I would be floored if he's not signed.

SmootSmack · 02-23-2007, 04:48 PM

I could see the following happening, Giants lure Lovie to NY next year with a big contract. Rivera returns to Chicago as head coach in 2008 for a salary comparable to what Lovie got when he first signed on as head coach

i would think Ladells value, right now, is at the highest it will ever be. and i would think it would compare favorably to Jones for the simple fact that he is signed, and at a bargain basement price

Big C · 02-23-2007, 06:30 PM

they said on espn they expect him to stay. they said a year or so ago they rejected a 2nd and 3rd roudner for him, and will probably look for a 1st and 2nd rounder, and he isnt worth that

VERY TRUE! I dont think Betts will come out next year and blow shit open like he did this year. Betts had his shot at being the main guy and he did ok. I mean he started, what? 7 games? With almost 1300 yards? And almost 650 recieving? Yeah. His value at this point is WAYYYYYYYYY up. Im surprised I havent heard about anyone offering picks or such for him. There are a lot of teams that could REALLY use Betts, i.e. Jets, NY?, CHI(Maybe!), Oak. I know Oak has Fargas or whatever but, he's a chump and they know it.

It's hard to believe that the Bears are going to basically hand the offense to a back, who up to this point can't stay healthy. What is the league coming to?!

Possibly but I'm betting that if the Chargers tender him at first round value (as opposed to 1st and 3rd) then the Giants will make a run at Michael Turner.
