Seems like a decent deal. Robinson was probably not going to make the final 53 here, same with Jones in Philly. Looks like some added insurance for the next few weeks.

Wow! Surprising cause Jones is a RB...So does this mean maybe Bell is gonna be PUP for the start of the season ? And Jones is more of a Howling like RB, and we already have Howling, so why is Jones needed ? I mean is there a injury to Redman that we don't know about ? This is a very weird accusition to me.
Should have traded For OL, and sent Gay, Foote plus Carter.

Outside of injuries I have always liked Felix Jones. Not sure what plans are for him but I like the move.
Tomlin: Let's unleash hell and "mop the floor" with the competition.
Well first off, thanks for the info on Bell not being able to be on the PUP list. But as far as depth to get past the preseason ???
Sorry but I can't buy that. By all accounts Redman is back Healthy, and was said that he will be ready for the third preseason game. Dwyer is Healthy, and has looked very good. Is in great shape, and running hard. Batch is still here, and can get us through those preseason games, and we have Howling. Also, didn't we sign a RB about 10 days ago from Arizona ? He's still in camp. So I have to think when you trade for a former 1st round RB in Felix Jones, it CAN'T be just for the final 2 preseason games. That just doesn't make any sense to me. Only way this makes any sense is if Howling , who did not play against Washington because of an injury is way way worse then what any of us know, and we got Jones to replace him cause maybe Howling might be out for a while. Felix Jones, like Howling is that smaller, 3rd down type of RB who CAN catch the ball out of the backfield. Something Felix Jones HAS proven he can do.
But no way was Jones traded for just for the final 2 preseason games. There has to be something going on with Howling that we don't know about.
