Not for anything but if they are paying Tomlinson 5 million and change, why didn't they just keep Thomas Jones (I think he was due 5-6 million)? I'm not trying to compare the two career wise, but TJ has been much better as of late. He was also one of the leaders of the team. I know Tomlinson is probably a future hall of famer, but I think they were better off keeping Thomas Jones.

Jones wanted to be a starter more than he wanted to win. That's pretty clear by him going to the Chiefs. He wasn't going to accept less than 15 carries a game. Tomlinson appears more willing to accept a backup role.
