    ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting via his Twitter page that the Kansas City Chiefs have signed free agent running back Thomas Jones to a 2 year contract worth $5 million. Jones was released from the New York Jets due to the emergence of rookie running back Shonn Greene. Jones, 32, is coming off his best season totaling 1400 yards and 14 touchdowns.

  2. Good signing.

    With rising star running back Jamaal Charles, I expect the Chiefs to have one of the best 1-2 combos in the NFL next season.

    I'm really surprised at the price we got him at too. Well done Pioli!

    I'm very excited about this deal....a decent offensive lineman in the draft and a solid tight end and our offense is in business.

    The defense on the other hand...ugh, we have a lot of work to do.

    I'm with the wow, awesome deal for the Chiefs side.

    No sure what's in it for Jones though. Nothing against KC, just that you guys are building right now.

    I think people in KC are more interesting in winning rather than Jamaal Chalels carries or fantasy football value any day

    Good signing for the Chiefs. Jones still has a lot left in the tank with the lack of carries he got early in his career.
