Chiefs coach Todd Haley 'excited' by signing of RB Thomas Jones

By Jim Corbett, USA TODAY
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli and head coach Todd Haley landed a desired complement for quarterback Matt Cassel and third-year running back Jamaal Charles with Tuesday's acquisition of former New York Jets power back and respected locker-room leader Thomas Jones.
The 31-year-old Jones rushed for 1,402 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2009 and adds firepower to 4-12 team that averaged just 18.1 points per game. Jones scored 27 touchdowns the past two seasons and is a between-the-tackles jack hammer who will move the chains and help keep Charles and the Chiefs defense fresh.

The Jets saved $5.8 million by paring Jones from their roster last week. ESPN reported the deal with the Chiefs is for two years and in the $5 million range.

THE HUDDLE: Catch up on all the NFL player movement

Haley made it known at the NFL scouting combine two weeks ago that he sought a complement for the 5-11, 199-pound Charles, who rushed for 1,120 yards and seven touchdowns and caught 40 passes for 297 additional yards with another touchdown.

"He's an impressive guy. We can't have enough guys like Thomas," Haley said. "It's one thing to be a leader and another to have the ability to back it up. Thomas does that and is excited to continue to show that.

"He had his best year last year. And I'm excited he wants to be here.

The older brother of Seattle Seahawks running back Julius Jones rushed for a career-high last season after producing 1,119 yards or better each of the past five seasons.

"He fits what we're looking for," Haley said. "He's a good player, loves the game and is an excellent preparation guy and a good teammate.

"He's been a part of other teams turning it in the right direction and he's excited to be a part of this."

The Chiefs may not be done adding to their backfield. They have a Thursday visit scheduled with Pittsburgh Steelers free-agent back Willie Parker.

"If we have a chance to add good football players, we're going to do it," Haley said. "This was a great example of a good fit, no different than what we've been able to do coaching staff wise. We need to because we only won four games last year and we've got to be better this year."

Now I know why I have refused to enter this thread until now. On my way back out...

Micjones · 03-11-2010, 01:28 AM

Wow... I was under the impression that this was an older thread. I had no idea they were still bringing Parker in for a visit.

Spread it around Scott. I think the backfield's pretty strong now.
If you have to have another back... Tony Richardson and Brad Hoover are out there.
Improve the FB spot.

Here we go again.

FYI, I don't even know who 88 is. I don't recall in general how his opinions are. But here's what I do know. On the fact that your boss is a bully wannabe and all of that kind have been abused or bullied earlier in life, he hit it on the nail. In fact I have mentioned the same to your boss in one of my exchanges with him in the past. He does not like it because it's the truth. He "cannot stand" me because he cannot stand UP to me when push comes to shove. It's all personal with him. Here's another thing I know: He is the big dog to you and a couple of others on this bb and you keep sniffing his butt around here, isn't that true, Dachshund?

Hey, **** you, Frankie.

I have NO idea who you're talking about or what the **** you're implying, okay?

Here's a thought: Stop acting like a ****ing Know-It-All asshole and STOP demeaning others because YOU have a "so-called" life.

**** you and **** anyone that looks like you, Okay?

Didn't expect you to. That would require at least minimal intelligence.

Yes you are right. I should have known, as the rest of the board knows, that there is only one "Know-It-All" sitting at the mount Olympus of Football here. How dare we even express an opinion, much less KNOW something?

Naw. Just smart enough to roll over this bunch of losers. My experience tells me that bullies are in general stupid. It does not take much wit to put them in their place. No glory here.

This is like the 2nd thread I have posted in for the last 2 weeks. I didnt start on page one I just opened up to this page of awesomeness. Dane laying the wood down, God Bless CP!

DBOSHO · 03-11-2010, 02:40 PM

Dane, please do not tell me you had the nerve to call someone else a know-it-all...

Frankie, just go the **** away, please.

You're the one claiming that anyone who's up on current Chiefs news "doesn't have a life" and you've made that VERY clear in this thread.

Essentially, you've just insulted 99% of the active Chiefsplanet members.

Furthermore, calling you out for your petty insults and overall foolishness doesn't make one a "bully".

Again, just GO the **** AWAY.

You are dumber than I thought. Where did I claim that? I have a life, because I have other interests too. The point was NOT being up on Chiefs news, moron. It was about me getting attacked by your idol for not realizing someone else had posted a thread about the Parker visit being cancelled. But then again I don't expect much from your drug ravaged brain.
