    Brad Biggs, of The Chicago Sun-Times, reports the free-agent RB Kevin Jones (Bears) said he has received interest from the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears.

    Well if this teams wants to be a run heavy team then I would look into getting another back to go with Jones and Leon so I dont really have a problem with this.

    Ugh. Waste of money.

    If you're going to get another back, do it in the draft.

    Shonn Greene for Jets!

    Agreed. Backs are easy to find.

    Would be tacklers would be trying to Keep Up Wth The Jones'.
    haha. Kill myself. Here all week.
    Seriously though the 3 headed attack worked well in Balt and i think the idea is just to smash the Living Hell out of it this year.

    Before his injury he was one of my favourite up and comers, but that came crashing down, for the right price I would rather him than a draftee at this point, I want our picks used elsewhere

    KJ was more or less used as a special teamer last year. He should come on the cheap side. I'm for the pickup, but that is my Orange and Maroon blood talking

    There's no reason to go to free agency this year for a HB. Grab either McCoy, Greene, or Moreno and we're set. And if we want someone who is going to be injured half the time we could just draft Wells.

    i agree, i dont think we need to draft a hb this year as we have jones and leon and a good o-line, but if the jets front office is looking for a third (i think chatman is a fa), id take brown in like the 4th or 5th round, im confident he'll fall that low and be a real good hb in the nfl

    Not crazy about Jones... we should be able to get a decent RB in the third round... Donald Brown was mentioned, and he would be a nice addition. There are about 5 RB's in this draft I would not mind having, and surely, one of them will slip into the third round.

    Yup. I think this would be a good move. Draft depth at other positions, get an experienced runner in FA. When he's healthy, he really really good

    Hopefully Chatman can keep the weight off this season without getting suspended again. But I'd rather bring in a rookie to have an impact now and take over for Jones in a couple of years.

    Based on what I've read, I don't think Chatman will be back. I would like to see him get another chance tho

    Not a big need but would definitely give us some great RB depth.
