sothron Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I have a trade offer for Jones in my keeper league. My team is rebuilding around a core of Bulger, Steve Smith, Calvin Johnson and Heap. My running backs are Kevin Jones and (sigh) Tatum Bell. The initial draft of this league was two years ago which is why I am saddled with Bell and Jones on keeper contracts. Looking longterm with Jones and his Lisfranc injury to his foot is his longterm value worth keeping and hoping he recovers? Or is it time to cut bait and get what I can for him? He plays in a high octane offense as the clear starter but that injury and its implications makes me cringe. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropeman Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I'd wait to see how they use him now that the team reports he's 100%. If he shows flashes try to sell him high. long-term you might want to see if SJAX owner would be looking for trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sothron Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 I am loath to trade him if he can stay healthy but the kind of injury he sustained is one of those possible career killers. I will hold onto him for now. The Stephen Jackson suggestion was a good one though, the team with him in our league is very strong at RB. Its worth a shot inquiring about a trade.

the joker Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I can't ever see him being more then the third best back on anyone fantasy team IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sothron Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 At the time of the league's initial draft he was coming off a rookie season where he led the entire NFL in rushing in the second half of the season. Unfortunately that once bright future seems about as meaningful in 2007 as David Carr's Texans spamshirts sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
