Well, there goes the Ronnie Brown trade for Calvin Johnson dream. This all but ensures that if SD doesn't come calling for Brown, Brown will be our starting RB in 2010.

brown was alwasy going to be our starting Rb. how silly to think otherwise.

The thread title is inaccurate; sorry but..
Actually the article is just referencing an article by Don Banks where he was offering his opinion that the Lions should sign Thomas.
..."Free-agent running back Thomas Jones will sign with the Lions, but he should sign with the New England Patriots.
That was the prediction and opinion offered Wednesday by Don Banks of Sports Illustrated"....
From The Detroit News: http://www.detnews.com/article/2010...-with-Lions--SI-writer-predicts#ixzz0hYtbf8Dp
So it's not as if them signing Thomas is imminent.
And I agree with the citizen - there's a very slim (to none) chance only that Brown won't be a Dolphin this next season.54Fins, LandShark13 and TheAnswer385 like this. -
Out of the total RB options available for Miami to supplement their two veterans, I think Brian Westbrook may get a look. We need a true third down back as a change of pace.
Unless we're the 2008 Broncos I don't think all three will get injured. -
the lions are doing a great job this off season if they complete there Oline they could have one of the top offenses in the NFL next season. then they could just draft defensive players. i think they will draft Okung and then go defense the rest of the draft

That'd be good news to me as I like that the fact that he won't be rejoining the Jets. Jones is still a good player (the NFL's 3rd leading rusher last year) and I had seen early on that the Jets were going to try and resign him.

If the lions have a solid draft they might actually have a legit shot to win 7-8 games next year.

It seems to me the Lions are just trying to build a solid team. They're method is similar to what Parcells and Ireland did their first year with us. Looking to sign and trade for solid if not spectacular vets to add talent and depth.
However, I wouldn't call Thomas Jones mediocre. The Jets had a tough decision to make in letting him go. With Washington and Greene on the roster, Jones was probably the odd man out based on him being the oldest among a talented group.
Overall I think they're going to end up pretty decent. -

The Chiefs signed him, not the Lions

As long as he's not back with the JESTS.
Losing him is going to be a bigger blow than anybody is reporting IMO. -
