Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Aaron Wilson notes, it's a voluntary mini-camp, and the Jets' mandatory session isn't until June. However, Jones' actions apparently aren't winning him many friends around the league. Per Cimini, a general manager for another NFL team called out Jones. "He's being very selfish," the anonymous GM told Cimini. "It's crap, what he's doing." Cimini agrees. ... For the record: Jones is due a $900,000 base salary for next season and $2.8 million in 2010 (plus a $3 million roster bonus due before the 2010 season. It would appear Jones believes last season's AFC-leading 1,312-yard (13 touchdowns) effort puts him in line for a better deal.
