Mark Jones cut by Titans. Pick him up?

Ok, didn't know this thread was rolling as fast as it was. Also didn't realize Jones was a WR ...I assumed he was a RB since people like their KR's to be RB's. As for Jones not being utilized as a WR and for the most part as a KR, why are you guys complaining? Rock is a RB who is not utilized as a RB. No different. Maybe we simply cut Rock and keep Jones. The team was looking to keep 5 RB's not including Sellers. Portis, Betts, Rock, and most likely 2 of the last 3 RB's Mason, and either Alridge or Dorsey.

As for my 25.6 yrds per KR.....

NFL Stats: by Player Position

I stand corrected, he was tied for 22nd.

The 5 RB number, as far as I understood it, included Sellers. BUT, we could still keep 4 RB (including AA or GD as the 3rd tailback), 5 WR's and a dedicated KR/ST. If so, and as D. Smith pointed out, that player has to do more than just return kicks. But, yea, they probably could reserve a spot just for that without changing the position dynamic to much.

I think we all know how this works....if DS, Cerrato, or Zorn wanted any certain person on the team and someone had to be cut to keep their player I'm sure D.Smith would find someone else on the team to use to get the job done. I'm sure he has a say but ultimatly we know if the front office or Zorn is high on someone their staying.

I don't even care about Rock Cartwright, but you seriously don't see the flaw in your logic? There are seven people on that list who have one kickoff return. So they returned one kick for more than 26 yards and they are ahead of Cartwright on that list. If you filter the list of running backs in the same way than Adrian Peterson was 35th in the league in yards per carry last year. The great Montell Owens completely owned him with 21.5 yards per carry.
