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."

Are you suggesting Vermeil is more at fault than Herm?

Furthermore why should you and mailman and two or three others think you are entitled to throw shit at people? Who died and left you guys "the gods of Olympus" here? It's all about civility. I habitually treat everyone with respect at first. Whether I keep respecting them is up to them. Still it takes a lot for me to start returning insults. But when I get to that point I can and WILL dish out what they deserve. I have always stood up to bullies and there's no reason to quit now.

Here we go: Everyone that's read the information you posted DOESN'T HAVE A LIFE, yet you DO.

What a ****ing joke.

You know that you're a joke around here, right?

It'd be terrible if you showed up without all the old used up insults to work with.

His insult was witty. Yours is always a variation of "mother******* dumbass." Speaks to one's limitations of intelligence.

Nope. His throwaway drafts were a thing of beauty though, and that's why the team is where it is today.

Anyone who refuses to treat Herm like the Adolf Hitler of this franchise deserves to burn in hell for eternity.

Only among the little group headed by your master milkman. How many are you, 4, 5?

Just say it and I'll back off.

But based on you past comments and your curious sensitivity to the subject... you leave doubt.

Why?

Tp prove to some dumbass that has no ****ing idea of what the hell he's talking about, that clearly can't comprehend anything written, that I hated Herman ****ing Edwards?

The only person anywhere that even remotely thinks that I liked Herman ****ing Edwards for even a second is you.

Everyone else here knows how I felt about him, which is the reason you have people laughing at your dumbass comments on this subject.

But to your point, Herman ****ing Edwards didn't destroy this franchise, Dick did.

Herman ****ing Edwards was just too stupid to fix it, even if he and Carl had the greatest drafts in history.

My insults are based in the truths of this board.

You're a dumbass who's too lazy to do a quick search of the forum to find material that's been posted and discussed already.

Every thread you start is a repost.

Every ****ing thread.

The other guy used some psycho mubo jumble insult that's older than I am.

I'm not looking to be witty when I'm insulting.

I'm looking to be honest.

There are 3 players still here that were drafted by the Chiefs during the DV era. Remember Jared Allen was drafted as a long snapper? Drafting Eddie Freeman in the 2nd rd after not working him out, but rather taking him out to dinner? That's the kinda shit you dealt with when it came to drafting players in the DV era. There should be A LOT more players on this team from 5 years ago if this team had any idea on how/who to draft.

D.Johnson
Colquitt.......a ****in punter

Hell maybe it's only 2

Herman ****ing Edwards was just too stupid to fix it, even if he and Carl had the greatest drafts in history.

Vermeil left the Chiefs with a border line playoff-caliber team, a team that finished 10-6, had the #1 ranked offense in the NFL and a defense with young talent such as Scott Fujita, Jared Allen and Derrick Johnson. Was it Vermeil's job to ensure that the Chiefs 5 years later were Super Bowl contenders? No

Herm Edwards SYSTEMATICALLY destroyed the Chiefs as a franchise by ignoring the decaying offensive line, trading Jared Allen and entering TWO seasons with the likes of Damon Huard, Brodie Croyle and Tyler Thigpen as the team's only options at QB.

That has NOTHING to do with Vermeil, yet the fact you refuse to hold Herm 100% accountable speaks volumes.

Do you have a sexual fetish for black head coaches? Do you like the fact Herm uses mostly one syllable words that makes it easy for someone with your limited education/comprehension level to understand?
