One of the few guys that has not earned his spot on this team, his contract warrants we play him. Him and Shane Obrien, good sized boys that if played to potential could of paid dividend, but will never.

I wouldn't tar him with the same brush as SOB. O'Brien is just terrible. Jones can be pretty good but is worn-down and broken.
Jones has shown flashes of ability. When he's healthy (lol) and confident he's exactly the sort of player we desperately need on this team. Having him on the roster allows us to stay nearer the cap floor, and it's a gamble that could pay off if he finds a bit of luck (or an adamantium skeleton.)
There's no point buying him out.
