Chiefs signed RB Thomas Jones to a two-year, $5 million contract. Jones’ contract is reasonable, with $3 million this year, $2 million next year and another $500,000 incentives. He’s s expected to receive 8-12 touches per game behind unquestioned starter Jamaal Charles, and will likely be used in a short-yardage role similar to the LenDale White-Chris Johnson situation in 2008.
