Jones Not Worried About Anything Beyond Sunday

Bears RB Thomas Jones has been the subject of many rumors, stories and controversies throughout the 2006 season, and it has been a struggle for him at times.  In fact, one of the offseason rumors regarding Jones had him being traded to the Colts, but now here he is facing them in the Super Bowl.

It appears that the “non-move” worked out well for both sides.  The Colts decided to find their RB in the draft, and Joseph Addai has played very well.  Jones, meanwhile, fought through a contract issue, the prospect of being replaced by Cedric Benson and a nagging hamstring injury.  All he did against New Orleans was run for 123 yards and two touchdowns to help the Bears get to the Super Bowl.

As for after the season, Jones isn’t worrying about that right now.  His contract has only a year remaining on it, and eventually, Jones will become the featured RB.  If you’d like to see how Jones performs Sunday, StubHub.com has Super Bowl tickets available.
