LAKE FOREST, Ill. – General manager Jerry Angelo can scratch backup running back off his want list after veteran Kevin Jones agreed to a two-year contract with the Bears on Friday.
Jones, an unrestricted free agent who visited the Buffalo Bills this week, initially signed a one-year deal with the Bears last July 15, just seven months after rupturing his ACL while playing for the Detroit Lions in the second-to-last game of the 2007 season.
The 6-foot, 228-pounder appeared in 11 games in his first year with the Bears, rushing for 109 yards on 34 carries. Jones gained 45 yards on 13 carries in a season-opening win over the Colts and rushed for 36 yards on 10 attempts in a Week 5 victory over the Lions. But he did not touch the ball on offense over the final seven games, appearing in just two contests.
