Jones has missed just 4 games in 7 years overall and has been a full time starter 5 of the past 6 years. I’d be fine with Teo being back too as a reserve LB in 2021 if we’re not drafting a guy there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't cover, couldn't do anything. He played better after he left Bears. This from Wiki: " On December 20, 2015, head coach John Fox benched Jones for the Bears' Week 15 matchup at the Minnesota Vikings. He was benched due to his poor play in the last three games, but was reinserted in the starting lineup the next week after Shea McClellin was inactive after sustaining a concussion.[21] He finished the 2015 season with 86 combined tackles (62 solo) and four pass deflections in 15 games and 13 starts.[16] Pro Football Focus gaves Jones an overall grade of 65.2, which ranked 38th among all qualifying linebackers in 2015.[22]" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated to see him leave in FA to begin with. He gets us another ILB who most likely on somewhat the same level as Kwiatloski was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a draft bust will haunt him as much as the gf hoax though. Not saying anything about people here specifically, but people still crack jokes about it when he comes up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
