Jones, who has played the last three seasons for the Jets, rushed for 1,402 yards and 14 touchdowns on 331 carries last season. The Jets reached the AFC Championship game.
Jones has 9,217 career rushing yards in 10 seasons with the Jets, Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears.

highly under paid RB the last few 5 years. Its too late now to get the money he deserves bc of age.

Somebody will pay him that money. I guess the Jets are going for youth. They must love Leon Washington & Shonn Green.
