The Chiefs still haven’t signed any big name free agents but it looks as though that may change on Monday. Adam Schefter is reporting that former NY Jets running back Thomas Jones will visit KC on Monday.
"More veteran RB news to go along with Willie Parker and Justin Fargas: Chiefs scheduled former Jets RB Thomas Jones to visit KC on Monday."
It looks as though the Chiefs are very interested in adding RB help for Jamaal Charles through free agency. They have been linked to having interest in Chester Taylor, Darren Sproles and Jones over the last week. With Sproles and Taylor off the market, it looks like their focus is now on Jones.
While it is no guarantee Jones will sign with KC on Monday, in general, once a free agent goes to a city for a visit he usually doesn’t leave without a contract. If Jones is going all the way to KC, the interest must be mutual. If I were a betting man, I would say Jones will be a Chief before Monday is over. Looks like the Chiefs want a little thunder to go with the Jamaal Charles lightening.
Sound off, Addicts! Yes or no to Thomas Jones?
