While I completely disagree with your premise that he is “by far the best back we have”, that would be Leon, I will answer since I raised the issue to begin with (does not matter, he was not traded, I know).

NEWFLASH – The Jets are NOT winning the Super Bowl this year, and probably not making the playoffs with their MVP out for the year.

Jones is a terrific runner that I admire, but of all the Jets vets he was the most tradeable entitiy because of his contract status and recent excellent performance. His heir apparent is in place, healthy and ready to begin getting the work that is needed to develop a running back (same argument for continuing to play Sanchez applies to Greene, they need the reps).

At some point, you have to stop worrying about next week and think about the big picture, and in the grand scheme of building a football team draft picks are valuable, and they have too few next season.

So you take the best offer for him.

They did not and all of those opposing his trade will realize I am right (as I also was with Pennington in the same situation in 2007) when Greene is getting his reps by Week 10 and TJ walks away for nothing next season ( I predict we see him in Foxboro next season).
