Thomas Jones value?

[Hank_Scorpio]

Just a thought what if T. Jones gets traded to Cleveland in say, August?

I think the Man-genius would take his rusher from last year. I am not too impressed with Jamal Lewis as a #1 RB this season...

Any thoughts on what T. Jones as a Brown would do for his value?

His value would likely skyrocket...he's a far better option than Jamal Lewis is and would probably start from day one out there. I've always liked Jones though too...he's not flashy and he's never been the most talented RB, but he's always gone out there and produced. If he gets pushed out of another situation in New York (likely), I wouldn't be surprised to see him resurface somewhere else and be a reasonably productive back for another couple seasons. I don't know that he will be a RB1 or anything, but he could be a decent starter still I think.

Before you count him out this season just remember he returned from his holdout 10 lbs. heavier and in better shape than he was last season. No way does Ryan trade away his top back with the status of their unproven QB's and WR's (aside from cotchery). I highly doubt he will be moved until after they see if Greene can handle the workload. I think TJ still has some value. Ryan plans to ground and pound all season and I believe Clemens might end up being the starter come opening day. Everyone says he can't play in this league because of his failures in his first 8 starts but remember he was constantly pressured not to mention he took 24 sacks in those 8 games. Now with a built offensive line and a promising running game maybe the Jets are perhaps underrated. Thoughts?
