With news of Julius Jones signing with the Seattle Seahawks and rumors swirling of the potential RB situation up north, Adam Schefter of the NFL Network reports Jones will make $5.5 million this year, according to ProFootballTalk.com. According to NFLPA records, Shaun Alexander’s (the incumbent RB of choice in Seattle) base salary is scheduled at $4.475 million in 2008. Jones’ deal is for four years and $16 million. In contrast, Alexander is scheduled to earn base salaries totaling $24 million over the next four seasons, making Jones the more affordable long-term option. T.J. Duckett was also signed recent and is reportedly receiving $4 million in guaranteed money. The writing is on the wall. Things are going to change in Seattle, and it appears Alexander's failures after getting his financial rewards are coming home to roost.

March 3, 2008
The Detroit Lions might host Dallas running back Julius Jones this week, according to the Detroit Free Press. With running back Michael Turner off the open market, running back needy teams will start focusing on Jones, who has been involved in a timeshare with Marion Barber the past few seasons.

February 27, 2008
Julius Jones, who is reportedly eager to test the open market, will likely receive “very strong offers” from several teams. According to Pro Football Weekly, the Detroit Lions fit the profile of one of the organizations that could be interested in Jones’ services. The Lions are expected to be more of a running team in 2008 with the subtraction of OC Mike Martz, and Kevin Jones hasn’t exactly been the model of health lately. Jones has been stuck in a timeshare with Marion Barber in Dallas, but he's a serviceable back with low mileage.
