Thomas Jones formally requests a trade

Im not really sure whether some of you will deem this to be relevant to this thread...but im curious to know how some of you believe Ladell Betts' stock compares to Thomas Jones' stock at this time.

i would think Ladells value, right now, is at the highest it will ever be. and i would think it would compare favorably to Jones for the simple fact that he is signed, and at a bargain basement price

they said on espn they expect him to stay. they said a year or so ago they rejected a 2nd and 3rd roudner for him, and will probably look for a 1st and 2nd rounder, and he isnt worth that

VERY TRUE! I dont think Betts will come out next year and blow shit open like he did this year. Betts had his shot at being the main guy and he did ok. I mean he started, what? 7 games? With almost 1300 yards? And almost 650 recieving? Yeah. His value at this point is WAYYYYYYYYY up. Im surprised I havent heard about anyone offering picks or such for him. There are a lot of teams that could REALLY use Betts, i.e. Jets, NY?, CHI(Maybe!), Oak. I know Oak has Fargas or whatever but, he's a chump and they know it.

It's hard to believe that the Bears are going to basically hand the offense to a back, who up to this point can't stay healthy. What is the league coming to?! :doh:

I'm betting he'll end up with the Giants.


Possibly but I'm betting that if the Chargers tender him at first round value (as opposed to 1st and 3rd) then the Giants will make a run at Michael Turner.

Isn't that what the Redskins had to do last year? My belief is that Benson will do just fine. You don't go to one of the best in Texas' history to dud because of a couple of nagging injuries. He was the number 4 pick and he has all the tools.

jones is better than benson, i mean, they've been trying to replace him for years now and he still had the job. benson was a wasted pick. jones still has years left, and he'll be starting somewhere.

I'd take tafkas's deal in a heartbeat.

I'd take tafkas's deal in a heartbeat.I'll bet Benson will have a year reminiscent of Larry Johnson's 2005, regardless of whether or not Jones is still on the roster.

I'm sure the Bears would like to have two strong backs, but Benson's going to be dominant very soon (next year). They don't need Thomas Jones.

benson's not going to be close to larry johnson's 2005 production unless grossman magically morphs into trent green by september. once roaf retired, even that whole offense slowed down.
