Tampa Players say Marcus Jones can be a star!

[Novacane]

Shoop was at media day today and asked Sapp and Brooks their opinion of Marcus Jones. Both said he will be a great player for the Bills.

Brooks....(whose opinion I take more seriously than Sapp's) said that is Jones had not gotten hurt he would be a star on the Tampa Defense.

I hope these guys are right. If they are we may have gotten a steal!

I will trust TD on this one. Even if he does'nt workout, I don't think it cost us that much and the rewards could be BIG!

[Romes]

If, for any reason, we cut him next year before the season, if i remember corectly, he does not count at all against our cap, since the way the deal is structured. Its a great signing. I look forward to seeing him on the field next year. Comeback player of the year next year for Jones. I'm calling it now.

He is the reason i dont want to sign Douglas

The NFCCG is the reason I now don't want the Bills to sign Douglas. Go with Jones, Schobel, and Irons, and draft a guy like Akbar Gbaja-Biamila (Kabeer's younger bro).

[Romes]

what is NFCCG?

[TypicalBill]

nfc championship game, i hope

[Romes]

that would make sense, thanks

The Marcus Jones signing was about as high benefit/low risk as you can get. That's Tom Donahoe's trademark.

TD likes to find that diamond in the rough.

that's exactly right,kgun.let's hope that he recovers nicely.he won't cost much even if he does play.it could shape into one of the best moves that TD has ever made since being the BILLS GM.

I don't think he's a diamond in the rough. He had 14 sacks, I think, a couple of years ago before injuries. I know it was when playing with a very good Tampa defense but it's nothing to sneeze at. Let's hope that it wasn't a one year thing and that injuries won't linger. either way they didn't put a lot of cash down so it's worth a shot.

TD's 'diamond in the rough' process also got us Kris Farris.
I suppose they all don't pan out. I was rooting for Farris to recover and become a decent backup, but it wasn't in the cards.
I hope TD is right about Jones.

"can" and "may" are the two words that concern me...
