Comments on: And Jones’ Agent Was Right… http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/and-jones-agent-was-right/ Chicago Bears Blog Wed, 22 May 2013 03:23:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Higgins http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/and-jones-agent-was-right/#comment-13906 Higgins Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:27:29 +0000 http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/?p=310#comment-13906 Garrett Wolfe makes around $525,000 a year, which would not be a tremendous cap hit. I think it shows how little faith the Bears have in him A) because of the limited amount of carries they gave him last year even with Cedric Benson hurt B) he only had four tackles on special teams last year. At 5-7 he was a gamble, and definately was drafted too high. Like I said previously, I love to see people out perform their physical limitations, but he has something to prove in camp. Jones is a back who has rushed for over a thousand yards in a season, the Bears wouldn't have signed him if they didn't think that he was either going to compete with Matt Forte or be used in tandem. Since the Bears signed him I have to assume that the check up the doctors did on that knee went better than well. We all love Garrett, but he has to prove it starting a week from today.

I would guess the roster spot is between Wolfe and Jones, and Wolfe has the upper hand being a high draft pick of this regime. Not to mention cutting Wolfe will probably be a decent hit to the cap since he has, what, 3 years left on his contract? Am I wrong? Whomever shows the most promise stays on the team while the other is cut, with Jones having to show a LOT to get a spot. Just the way I see things as a complete outsider that knows nothing about how a team is run. I just can’t see the Beloved cutting Wolfe with only one year to prove himself, unless he’s just TERRIBLE.

The people who make the final spots on the roster are the ones who can help you out the biggest and in the most ways. That being said, I hope Kevin Jones is as good this year as he is confident.
