Center Ben Jones Doesn’t Camouflage His Feelings…

NASHVILLE – Titans center Ben Jones signed a lucrative new contract on Friday before strolling down the hallways at Saint Thomas Sports Park for an afternoon press conference.

His attire for the special occasion? A camouflage jacket with a “Burkes Mechanical & Electrical” patch on the front, and a ball cap.

“It’s actually where my brother works – it’s a Christmas gift,” a smiling Jones said of the jacket. “My uncle owns the company (in Bibb County, Ala.). I don’t like spending money.

“Free, free, free,” Jones, smiling even bigger, said as he pointed to the clothing on his body, from his hat to his jacket to his shoes. “I don’t spend money on clothes.”

The Titans awarded Jones with a nice multi-year contract earlier this week, ensuring he’ll remain in the middle of the line for the team in 2022, and potentially beyond.

On Friday, Jones discussed why it was so important to remain with the team.

“I am very excited,” Jones said. “I want to finish my career here. … The guys, the coaches, the people in this building, from equipment guys to trainers to coaches and staff, everybody treats you a certain way – (people) are amazing. … I have been here, I love it. I am ready to finish it here and go win a championship.”
