The Jets are looking to cut Thomas Jones this week. Jones was due a $3 million roster bonus on top of a $2.8 million base salary this season. He and the Jets failed to reach a compromise on restructuring his contract; the team wanted him to take a pay cut. The 31-year-old is coming off a season in which he set career highs by rushing for 1,402 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Jones is a little bit of an anomaly. Nobody respects him, but he is damned good. my early prediction is the Patriots because Bob hates him. You have to understand the Jets side of it too, because Shonne Greene is ready to go, and I think Leon Washington is coming back. If anyone wants a quick fix at RB this is the year as Thomas Jones, Ladainian Tomlinson, Darren Sproles and Jamal Lewis are all free agents.
