Jonesing for Thomas

Today is the first day of media availablity for the Jets, and we’ve just spoke to the first group to work out. Those players included running backs Danny Woodhead, Leon Washington and Tony Richardson, but no Thomas Jones.
The AFC’s leading rusher is the only Jet who isn’t participating in the offseason training program in the wake of a housecleaning that included the head coach, quarterback, and numerous position players.
But the apparent contract dispute doesn’t worry Washington or Richardson.
“One thing I know about TJ he’s probably already finished his workout and he’s going to come in here in tip top shape and I think they’ll get it worked out,” Richardson said.
Washington said it was important for a player to be here, but agreed that there were few players who had Jones’ work ethic when it came to working out. “Running backs, we’re not soft,” Washington said.
Other topics for the players included QB Jay Cutler, and I didn’t hear anyone who said anything other than, they liked the players currently on the Jets roster in Kellen Clemens, Brett Ratliff and longshot Erik Ainge.
I’ll have more from the second half of the day later.
