Shortly after the 2009 season ended, general manager Martin Mayhew made it clear the Lions would be looking for a new running back.

The Lions sent Sheldon White, their vice president of pro personnel, to see Jones work out in New Orleans. Coach Jim Schwartz said Jones ran well, but that was only the first step. Jones has missed two of the past three seasons.

“The one thing you want to look at is what kind of condition he’s in, what he’s been doing,” said Schwartz, who coached Jones in Tennessee for two years as the Titans’ defensive…
