Report: Chiefs Sign Thomas Jones To Two Year Contract
by Joel Thorman on Mar 9, 2010 4:16 PM CST
in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Season
Email
PrintAfter over a day of visiting, the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to terms with free agent RB Thomas Jones, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Jones, 31, was released by the New York Jets on Friday.
Over a week ago, we thought it made sense to bring Jones in to complement Jamaal Charles.
Schefter also reports the Chiefs were planning on bringing in Pittsburgh Steelers free agent RB Willie Parker. The Chiefs had a visit scheduled with former Oakland Raiders RB Justin Fargas this evening. No word yet on whether that'll happen.
Per Schefter, Jones is coming in on a two year contract. He'll make $3 million the first year and $2 million the second. There is also $500,000 in incentives.
Welcome to Kansas City, Mr. Jones.

Good Deal...
Scratch #2 RB off the list of needs
Patience is truly a virtue, good things will happen soon
Exciting Stats - TJ Will Be Great "Thunder" to Jamaal Charles "Lightning"
Look at T. Jones career numbers. Doubt he’ll ever tote the rock 330 times in a season again like 2009, but the production is undeniable.
Also, remember how dynamic Jones and Leon Washington were in NY in 2008 before LW was injured?
If we sign Ryan Lijia and draft Maurkice Pouncey with 2A, our offense will be ready to roll with Weis and Haley at the wheel!
Also, to put Thomas Jones’s career into context, with 200 yards rushing in 2010, he’ll pass Earl Campbell for 28th position on the All-Time rushing list.

I like Crash and Burn.
My bold prediction and I think our best chance at moving down in the 1st. Bret Favre retires, Tavarris Jackson is not retained or leaves and the Vikings trade up, with our beloved Chiefs, for Jimmy Claussen.
WRITE IT DOWN!
NFL Rushing Leaders for 2008 and 2009
Chris Johnson 3234 yards
Adrian Peterson 3143 yards
THOMAS JONES 2714 yards
Mawae or Pouncey at Center
We need to sign Kevin Mawae or draft Maurkice Pouncey to play center to open the holes for Thomas Jones between the tackles. Remember his best years were achieved running behind Pro Bowl center Nick Mangold in NY.
This is rally perfect
Jones will not be the show guy, but does all the little things well/ He catches well, he blocks well, and he leads a team well.
For the money, you could not buy a better FA.
And, we don;t have to go there early in the draft now.
by bas on Mar 9, 2010 6:12 PM CST up reply actions
Actually...
I like the idea of signing Mawae… and drafting Pouncey to play Guard. Then our Offensive line would be set for this year.
Go Chiefs!!!!
Awesome news
Over under 150 comments??
I am going to say under b/c of the lack of a mention of Eric Berry

Team Pollard, WHAT WHAT?! lol
Winning isnt a matter of life and death, its more important than that.
We were starting to worry about you, Thorman's
What, you think it’s ok to have another job, or something?
Awesome!
Two years seems like the right amount of time. We should have a potent running game with a few new line additions
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
so....
They still have Fargas and Parker coming in for visits. Personally I think they sign one of them also – you can always cut them if they don’t look to be working out.
According to Schefter
No Parker visit now.
We’ll see about Fargas. He may want to go elsewhere first, if he’s not already here.
They just canceled
visit from Willie Parker since the signing
YES!
Im so excited right now. Dont need to address that in the draft now.
What's next?
Lilja? Another O-lineman? If it is, it sets us up for skill and defense in the draft. Great move.
We are building a fighting force of extwaordinary magnitude.
Awesome.
Chiefs should be drooling over Lilja. Let’s bring him home.
would LOVE it
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* Pioli will make at least one trade in the offseason, and 2 trades during the draft
* I'd prefer "lightning and lightning" as opposed to "lightning and thunder" when it comes to RBs
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB
Lilja would be a great pick up
He’s got experience and he is still relatively young
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
next up Lilja
sign him up and focus on Defense in the draft!
Regardless of who the Chiefs pick at #5 overall, Whitlock will call it the worst pick in the history of the Chiefs. Heres to hoping that #5 pick runs Whitlock out of town.....

Great move by the Chiefs!
Very good tandem with Charles/Jones. Happy to hear this.. been waiting all day refreshing Arrowhead Pride for the past two days haha

If we traded one of our 2nd rounders for Jared Gaither, and took Eric Berry in the draft...
This would be an awesome offseason for me.
any takers on when Washington gets released to Jones can have his number?

Mike Cox
could learn a lot after bringing T. Rich back for a year. I think Cox has good potential.

He might mean Ben Tate from Auburn
He’s a running back

correctomundo. Ben Tate
the guy avg over 4ypc and is 220 with a 4.45 40m at the combine. i would compare him to jones-drew except faster.
no way gerhart gets out of the 3rd
in fact, he’ll probably be gone in the 2nd

Very solid signing
Good value in this signing. About time.
Maybe there is a plan
jones understands being part of a team attack to rushing. hopefully he bruises and Charles runs past them. I like the Jones moves bc he understands team and wants to win.
This great.
I’m excited to have some sort of offensive attack or strategy. Tony Scheffler is being traded according to MHR. Think we have a shot or it’s worth a try?

Awesome word. Hopefully that carries over to the team. WOO HOO!

Berry or Mcclain
you said Berry ...
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
Im hype
but its true, we still have o line problems, but we are sticking to the “right 53” and that commitment alone is worth getting excited about.

Madden currently rates Charles has having a "B" in potential
so he probably won’t jump all the way up from the mid 80s to the high 90s that quick. I’d like to think they might bump up his potential though.

As pessimistic as I try to stay....
I love this move. I dont know if this makes us need O-line help more or less, but Okung or Berry will be at #5 (if they’re not, it means that some number of the big DLs/QBs will be there and KC can trade out) and either pick would bring a huge amount of improvement to the team. I wish we had Boldin, but if Pioli signs Ryan Lilja ill be okay with this free agent period.
Which AFC West GM has less hair: Scott Pioli or Al Davis?
yes got to sign Lilja
Regardless of who the Chiefs pick at #5 overall, Whitlock will call it the worst pick in the history of the Chiefs. Heres to hoping that #5 pick runs Whitlock out of town.....
What do you think this does for his fantasy value?
He’s been a fantasy beast the last few years. But JC bout to blow up. Where do I put him on my draft board?

I say that JC/Jones will be Rice/McGahee lite. JC is top-20 overall, and Jones would be great in a deep leauge.

Things to get the Chiefs back on the winning side of football:
1. Haley resign as offensive coordinator or do the following;
a. Feed JC more
b. Take the cuffs off of Cassel and let him air it out
2. Fire Clancy "Calls" Playslikeass
don't forget ..
LJ and LT are still out there if KC wants to corner the acronym market!

time to eat crow
I’ve been bashing Pioli for some of the moves he has made – and not made – over the past year
I have to say this Jones signing is a real coup
To get the number 5 free agent to come to a losing team for a humble amount of cash for a short contract is darn impressive
Jones / Charles combo looks great
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is

I really liked Allen and Holmes though, so I’ll have to wait and see

im glad this signing finally happened
checkin AP every 1-2 hours was really cutting in to my productivity. i’d say this will prob be the only FA chief’s signing that will get any hype around the league. bring on the depth players now.
Short yardage
Jones would not do as well behind our current OL as he did behind the Jets line, but it will be upgraded soon. One thing is certain. We finally have a short yardage guy. No more Haley failures at 4th and 1. I have a feeling Jones will get 10-15 carries per game. He never fumbles, has great vision, and is a good receiver, as well. Great move by Pioli. I think we may take Brian Bulaga and move Albert to G. The running game will be great, and Cassel will have fewer sacks and more time to throw. We will be able to hold a lead and control the ball late in the game.
To everyone who thinks we are in trouble at receiver, both Charles and Jones will be targets.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

There is no reason we can't sign Lilja.
Lilja’s roots are in Kansas, and I would think we would be the first place he would want to play. Unless he wants more money than he is worth, I see know reason why the Chiefs can’t sign him. He’s only 28, and alot of Colt fans and players are upset he was cut. He is the best O-lineman left on the market, and we sure as hell need to add a couple of bodies to our line. I totally agree with how Pioli is managing free agency, after admittingly being disappointed when I saw no signings the first few days, and now that he has signed Jones and resigned Chambers, if he nabs Lilja, I would call it a pretty successful free agency, if he doesn’t sign anybody else. Shaun Springs, the NT from the Bengles, has some personality and work ethic issues he will have to overcome for us to sign him, but he does have a relationship with Crennell, and has displayed alot of talent, at times, when he has his head on straight. I think they will evaluate the risk vs. rewards, and if they don’t think he “gets it”, I have no problem if they don’t sign him. I also think we still have a shot at getting Wade Smith back, as he has already left two cities with no contract, and is likely just checking the market out. We still don’t know how Colin Brown is going to progress, as he was injured for alot of last season, Haley still thinks Barry Richardson can play, especially with some real coaching, and Nkuywe stepped up last season, when we needed him. Our O-line is not as bad as many think, and can have a mixture of youth and experience. If we look at it like this: Albert-LT, Waters or Lilja LG, Waters or Wade Smith-Center, Waters, Lilja or Nkuywe-RG, O’Callahan, Nyuywe or Richardson-RT, and Niswanger or Brown at either guard position. Pick up a few rookies, in the draft, to gain some experience and depth, and I could live with that line. Remember, they played well the last 4 games, with only 6 sacks, (none in the Denver game) and Charles running wild.

This is an awful move
dumping all of this money into a position we’re set at. Backup HB should not even be on the radar right now when out O line and LB corps are as laughable as they are.
In 2-back systems, does it really matter?
Thomas Jones is still going to see a great deal of carries.

I love Eric Berry. Great sign… I like Thomas Jones a lot. Still want to see us draft Dixon or Blount to help out for years to come, but great sign for sure. Go get a Oline guy and maybe a WO. THEN DRAFT BERRY.
Man crush on Eric Berry.
Fantastic move for you guys
