In the first full-length episode of Bears Blunders, Matt goes back over Chicago's decision to trade away Thomas Jones following the 2006 season. This episode features Jones' history leading up to signing with the Bears, a look at the gaudy numbers he put up with awful QB play and how the addition of Cedric Benson killed any chance he had at solidifying himself as a Bears great.

The episode features numerous quotes from Jones' time in and out of the league and we recommend giving Jack M. Silverstein's interview with Jones from 2017 a read here:
