Thomas Jones to meet with Chiefs (1 Viewer)

[Gopher State]

I think we've been over this about 1.6 million times but I'll bring it up again. Thomas Jones had an INJURED leg at the end of the season, it wasn't simply that he was tired. I don't recall when or where the injury happened however. KC would be wise to sign Jones...if he isn't asking for a truckload of money. The amount he's looking for is my best guess as to why he isn't signed already. He still has a bunch in the tank by the looks of things, 85% of last year he was a top RB in a run first offense (granted he had a strong line in front of him too).

That's all well and good. I don't think anyone is saying that Jones is done or incapable of contributing. At least I'm certainly not saying that. But the guy is going to be 32 before the season starts, he's had a pretty hefty workload the last few years and Charles will still be the focal point of the offense. I just don't see this signing as all that big a deal. Jones should be an ideal guy to step in and provide Charles the necessary breaks to keep him fresh. It seems like a nice deal KC signed him for.
