Levi Jones of 2006? Sign immediately. To play LT.
Jones is a smart guy who played like an old pro almost immediately. Quick feet and a feisty guy. Very similar player to Tausch. He's a "get in the way" kind of tackle who could hold his own against top competition. He's never played RT, he was drafted as an LT and has played there from jump street.
Lots of physical issues since '05, but really limited his effectiveness since the '07 season. He's had assorted leg (mainly knee miseries) trouble for a couple years.
He's also a grumpy sumbitch and kind of a club house lawyer.
Levi Jones of 2009?
1. Work him out and see if he's fit to play.
2. Interview him and interview him tough. Get in his head and see if he'll shut his mouth and play and figure out if he can take the whole grind.
Then make up your mind. I'd generally say no, but if he can go, you might look at him. If he's healthy, somebody will pick him up.

I think that's probably your answer. They drafted a LT in front of many other needs, they decided to get rid of Jones when they could have just as easily let Andre Smith play RT for a year, then they weren't able to trade him for anything. And it sounds like he wasn't even making that much money.Originally posted by GuinessYou don't cut a serviceable LT
Someone will take a shot on him I'm sure, but that's not the resume of a guy with a lot left to offer. Maybe if you keep ten OL and your #10 is Duke Preston, then Jones could be an upgrade. I certainly wouldn't expect him to be starting material over Clifton, though. Also, keeping older veterens at the bottom of the depth chart doesn't sound like Ted's M.O.#14

Being a tough guy and being a good football player aren't one in the same.
