I say bring him in!

cobracai1 · 05-06-2009, 01:46 PM

I think ultimately our FO is satisfied with the Bridges/Heyer/Williams/Jansen battle for RT. Levi would def be an upgrade if healthy.

steveo395 · 05-06-2009, 01:48 PM

I say sign him if its not going to be too expensive and he is healthy.

Ruhskins · 05-06-2009, 01:49 PM

He will probably go to a team where he has the best shot at being the starter, I am not 100% sure we are that team. I would like for him to come here, but it could be iffy.

Given our need at RT the front office should at least look into it. If he's too costly and we have to pass him up, then I can live with that. But we at least have to look.

another often injured player i do not think its a good idea stabilty is what we need someone who can play a whole season that is our problem now.

Jones was due to make $3M this year in Cincy. He will not be signing for chump change wherever he goes.

There is something strange going on here. Levi Jones can still play; he is not old and he's not wracked with injuries. He does not have the reputation for being "felonious". So, why are the Bengals - - not a team with a real deep roster - - so anxious to draft his replacement and move him out?

Is there something dark here? Or is this just an example of why the Bengals are the Bengals?

I think you are right. Without making a normative assessment (I can't really comment on Jones' ability at this point in his career and have never seen him play) I doubt the F.O. will bring in Jones.

"After missing just one game during his first four seasons, Jones has missed 17 during the past three. Last year he suffered a season-ending leg injury against Philadelphia and missed the last six games."

That might not count for being "wracked" with injuries by Redskins standards, but missing 1/3 of the teams games over the past three season's doesn't exactly suggest he is reliable. I don't think you need to go searching too deeply for "darkness," they must have perceived him as an injury risk with diminishing returns whose replacement was already in-house. Whether that is right or not I don't know, but I don't think you need a conspiracy theory to explain the release.

I would like him here. But reading that link, I think I still am most upset that we made a crummy decision w/last years practice squad.

I think you can safely remove Jansen from the pool. They are not treating him as an option.

nimbh2 · 05-06-2009, 02:12 PM

jansen is a liability in the passing game he should be replaced

nimbh2 · 05-06-2009, 02:13 PM

missing 17 games in three years is wracked to me

nimbh2 · 05-06-2009, 02:26 PM

he was to make 3 million this year so he has been on the bench for a third of it that is a million to sit watch hell sign me up lol
