Default Re: Thomas Jones expected to be traded :(

Jeez, how much is it worth to move up 2/3rds of the second round? Like a late third round pick? I suppose it isn't that bad of a deal, but were they really that desperate to get rid of him? For next year at least I would still rather have Jones than Benson. Jones was the player of the game in the SB and basically has tore it up the last two years to the point that I don't see how anyone none the less Benson would be much of an upgrade. Also, Benson seems to get injured a lot, so what are they going to do, play Peterson? Or draft a RB? What do they gain if they trade a good RB for picks and then draft one who will almost certainly be worse? Yes, I know he probably wasn't going to resign so at least they get something in return, but the Bears are good and the NFC doesn't look any tougher next year, they should be trying to win now.
