We recently heard a rumor that, if the Lions had signed running back Julius Jones, running back Kevin Jones would have been cut.
We’ve now been told that Kevin Jones is telling teammates that he has been released.
The rumor/report is not yet confirmed. Stay tuned.

The first part of the rumor doesn’t surprise me in the least, given two major injuries in consecutive seasons (Lisfranc, ACL). But I would be surprised if they released him right now, given that their options would be Tatum Bell, Aveion Cason and Brian Calhoun (gaaack!). That would pretty much telegraph to the rest of the league that they’re picking a RB at #15 overall. At least wait until after the draft. But then, this is Millen we’re talking about….

If the lions sign julius jones and cut Kevin jones, the will have cut a guy they traded up to get and replaced him with a guy they could have had in their original spot.
Fire Millen.
Now if they trade Roy Williams, both of their 1st round picks from 04 will be off the roster and join the ranks of 1st round busts of Harrington, Charles Rogers and Mike Williams.
Fire Millen.

Unfortunately Julius Jones isn’t an option because Seattle signed him. They’ll cut Shaun Alexander…who the Lions can’t afford to sign because they’re up against the cap.
Agreed - Fire Millen.

Rough doesn’t even begin to describe it. Most offseasons for us are characterized by cautious optimism, but even that is no longer an option.
