The Chicago Tribune is reporting that ex-Detroit Lions running back Kevin Jones is hoping to hear from the Chicago Bears, who just cut their running back, Cedric Benson, but still have second-round pick Matt Forte.
Jones, who spoke with Lions Insider Tom Kowalski a couple of weeks ago, is recovering from knee surgery.
Chicago Tribune, June 11: Jones, a former first-round pick of the Detroit Lions, hopes to hear from the Bears, according to a source close to the player.
Jones' agent, Blake Baratz, did not return a message Tuesday. His client has worked out for New England and Tennessee this off-season without striking a deal. Jones, released by the Lions in March, will hold a personal workout for scouts June 28 in Saline, Mich., to prove he is fully recovered from a torn ligament in his right knee, suffered in last season's home finale against the Chiefs.
MY THOUGHTS
Yes, thats right. Another chance for a former Lion to come back and bite us in the butt. If he signs with the Bears he will put up some big numbers and not get injured just to spite us.
