With the FOs track record of playing hard ball with contract malcontents...I'm wondering if TJ is going to price himself out of a job soon. Whilst I think TJs contribution next season would be invaluable , Leon has shown that he has alot more to offer , and with Jim Leonard joining team green , he could have his PR load lightened.
I would hate for the Jets to trade Thomas Jones this year...That would only add another hole to our offense and really...It would FORCE us to draft a RB with our 1st pick. I have a feeling Thomas Jones will man up about the whole situation and honor his contract like a real man before he holds out and sits out the whole year. If anything...If Thomas Jones sits out this entire season (Cant see that happening though) What type of money would he get as a free agent? Not much...
I can't see him sitting out , especially at his age. But I'm sure Tanny will be weighing up bang for buck
If he does sit out...Good, pull a Knicks move and this time...Let his ass sit and rot for two full years and BANG, their goes his career. He doesnt wanna play the game of football without getting paid the...BIG BUCKKSSS? Well then guess what? He wont be PLAYING, or getting paid...ANYTIME soon.
Even though I'm sure he will be in TC I would still draft a RB in the first three rounds... 1 because we need him and 2 because that gives the Jets more contractual strength.
Kendal two years ago. Baker last year. Jones this year. Always got to be a player whining for more dough. Who will it be next year? Ryan should stick him in the rookie dorm if he keeps this up.
