Jones was cut by Houston during training camp last year and went the entire season without joining another team. The last time he stepped foot onto an NFL field was in 2008 where he started 10 games for the Kansas City Chiefs. The signing of Adrian Jones is seen as as a replacement for Willie Colon but Jones played Guard exclusively in 2008. Perhaps somebody already on the roster slides out to RT and Jones becomes a G/T depth swingman like Essex and Stapleton have been utilized over the past few seasons.
I don’t recall ever seeing Adrian Jones play so I won’t pretend that I know his game inside and out but all indications are that he is slightly below average; don’t expect him to start unless the Steelers suffer ANOTHER injury. I’m sure he came cheap though, which is why we’re reporting Adrian Jones has signed with the Steelers instead of Flozell Adams.
I wouldn't have even thought this signing was worth noting.
It’s not really but this time of year there isn’t much to cover. We’ll be all over it in a week or so when the team reports to camp. Can’t way to get it started.
