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.

Re: Thomas Jones expected to be traded :(
I for one don't mind this trade that much. Although I highly undervalue running backs. I think Benson/Peterson will be a fine tandum for the next year. Although if the Bears organization is just being cheapskates again...ugh after this season things will probably start to fall apart again for another decade.

Re: Thomas Jones expected to be traded :(
I LOVE Adrian Peterson, and I think he will definately be able to fill in as the 2nd back behind Benson.
I just don't see the value in this trade. If you are going to trade Jones, OK. He would have probably left after next year anyway, but at least get some value!!!

Not so great trade. I'll pass judgment after the draft I guess. I don't know what's going on in their skulls.
