Julius Jones Heads to Seattle

Julius Jones will not be playing second fiddle to Marion Barber next season for the Cowboys.  While Julius Jones was the starter at RB for all but one game (the playoff loss to the Giants featured Marion Barber as the starter), Marion Barber all but stole the show.  With both players reaching the end of their contracts it was clear to the fans and the Cowboys GM which player they wanted back, and Julius Jones was the odd man out.

Seattle has signed Jones to a 4 year deal worth $12 mil, after signing T.J. Duckett making it seem more and more apparent that Shaun Alexander could be heading somewhere else himself in the near future.  While signing Julius Jones to a 4 year 12 million dollar deal might seem a little steep; it’s not.  The Seattle Seahawks have seen enough firsthand footage of Julius Jones that they feel confident in his upside; also with the acquisition of T.J. there is good reason to believe that Jones will be featured in another 2 back system.
