posse87 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Kevin Jones will be released by the Lions. I would love to sign him and trade Betts. He is a talent. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3291948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posse87 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 He will most likely be looking for a starting gig, but damn he is good when healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat~man Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 he is never healthy thats the problem, he is a pretty good RB but just never healthy =\ altho I wouldnt be upset if we did sign him and trade betts, I think he will be looking elsewhere so he may hve a chance to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 He's a good power back. Wouldn't mind him at all. If we do sign him, I think we better go for Branden Albert. Why try to make an upgade at the WR position if you're not going to bother upgrading the OL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntToast Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 He's good for 4 games a year, Six years 30 million sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Skins Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Not only will he want to be a starter, but he'll want to get paid like one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Check the thread on this in ATN. Reports are he may not even be ready to play this upcoming season. He's talented, no doubt about it, but at this point I'd have to say pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Rob Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 he dare not sign with the girls... I know he doesn't want punishment like this on a regular basis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins PR Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 The title of this thread conatins 4 exclamation points too many. That cat is hurt all the time and isn't a significant upgrade over Betts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins4ever Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Kevin Jones is a very good runner when he's uninjured. The Lions have to do what's in their best interests. Jones has been nothing compared to what he was at V-Tech. His 4.0 overall rush attempt average over three seasons would be a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdlives Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 He'd make a great addition ot our IR or PUP list since that's where he spends most of his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Enter all the Vtech fans who wanted the Skins to draft him:laugh:. Stupid move to pick this guy up. He doesn't even fit with what the Skins want to do with their running game. Definitely throw this guy back in the pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCJDLJ Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 He has never been healthy and probably won't be healthy enough to play this year. He's just another name that a lot of folks here will become ogasmic over. Some one should make a list of how many name players have been released this off season and how many threads have been started here advocating their signing by the Redskins. Jim Brown is talented, maybe the team should sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markmx Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The only thing he is good at is getting put on I.R. Pass please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOLhandsCOOLEY Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Instead of looking to pick up Jones does this open the door for a possible trade of Betts and a draft pick for Roy Williams? Obviously the Lions are gonna need a running back unless they plan on Avian Cason (sp?) being their premiere back. Maybe they're just planning on drafting a RB in the early rounds, but that would mean that they couldn't draft a receiver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 We'll give the ol' "no-go" to Kevin Jones. I'm sure he wants to be a starter, problem is he just doesn't have the durability to play for the Redskins. And that's all I know about that.

Redskins:Victory_or_Death Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 You would trade Betts and get this guy? What kind of trade off is that? Lions released Kevin Jones. A stunner, but Jones has undergone surgery for a Lisfranc foot fracture and a torn ACL the last two offseasons. He's uncertain to be ready for the 2008 season and may not be "100%" until 2009. He will make an interesting pickup, but is looking at a backup role this year. It's possible the Lions will re-sign him at a reduced rate, but more likely Tatum Bell, Brian Calhoun, and a highly picked rookie to be named later will take over the Lions backfield.
