New York Jets Tickets -Thomas Jones Is Another Older Running Back To Be Out Of Work
The New York Jets have not hidden the fact that they are likely to release starting running back Thomas Jones, which comes after Jones rushed for more than 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns in the 2009 season. When the release is final, Jones will be the third star running back to be released in just a couple of weeks, joining Ladainian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook as aging backs out of work.
Though running back has always been a perilous and incredibly temporary position, it is now becoming a trend for teams to cut ties with backs even when they have been productive in recent years. While Tomlinson's effectiveness took a nose dive in the 2009 season, making his release all but inevitable, Jones has remained a solid starting back in the NFL and is even coming off a career-best 1,402 yards rushing to go along with being among the top scorers in the league. Unlike the often-injured Westbrook, Jones has even remained incredibly healthy, playing in all 16 games each of the last four years.
But at age 31, NFL teams are simply not willing to pay big bonuses to backs like Jones, even with his reputation as a leader both on and off the field. With other talented backs on the roster like Leon Washington and Shonn Greene, the Jets are just one of the teams turning to youth at the running back position in the stead of veteran backs with aging bodies. Those looking to grab New York Jets tickets for the upcoming season will be seeing an incredibly young offensive squad, with second-year back Greene emerging as a leader on a team with a very young quarterback in second-year starter Mark Sanchez.
With the NFL Draft upcoming, this also has an obvious effect with how teams need to approach their needs. While players of most positions were formerly not expected to start and produce all that much in their first year in the league, rookies are now expected to have an immediate impact with their new NFL teams. The new line of thought in the NFL regarding running backs is that even top veteran talent can be easily replaced in the draft, with teams no longer being willing to allow an older back to recover from a mediocre season. In Jones' case, even his best season in the NFL was not enough for the Jets to overlook the mileage on his legs.
The prevalence of younger players over older ones doesn't stop at running back, however. Even highly drafted quarterbacks now regularly start in the league, with Mathew Stafford, Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco all being first-year starters with high expectations placed upon them immediately. This has completely changed the former philosophy on quarterbacks in the league, as a rookie used to be expected to sit for a year or more in order to learn from a veteran. With running backs, there is even less hesitation to start a highly drafted player, and a back drafted in the first or second round usually guarantees that he will shoulder the load in just his first year in the NFL.
Jones does, of course, have a physical advantage over both Tomlinson and Westbrook, which is likely the only thing that will get him another decent contract. While Tomlinson and Westbrook had well-documented injury problems, Jones has remained fairly healthy in recent years and many teams will likely look to add him to their backfield. However, it's still unlikely that Jones will ever be a feature back again and he will almost certainly be splitting carries with a younger player for the rest of his career.
Though the age of 30 has long been a magical age of decline for backs, it is no longer simply an age that dangles over the older backs in the league with minimal repercussions. With star running backs now regularly getting released shortly after hitting 30, NFL teams seem to be making the 30-year-old running back plateau a matter of policy, opening up the doors for younger players to have a big impact in the league nearly as soon as they don the uniform.
