Jonathan Jones heading to Sports Illustrated according to report

[Cary Kollins]

At his new role at SI, Jones is expected to be a multi-platform national NFL reporter. He will contribute features, commentary, podcasts and videos; his work will appear on the website and in the magazine. In the last two years, Jones had talks with ESPN and Fox, but did not opt to leave the Observer until this offer came along. He will remain based in Charlotte.

Movin' on up. At least we still have Joe Person and David Newton.

Ughh I am going to have to break down and follow Joe Person on twitter now, this is a bummer.

To clarify, a bummer that I have to follow Joe Person, not for Jones. Seems to be a great spot for him, he seems like he is a talented writer in general and would benefit from being able to do more than just Panther's news.

Jones is better than the other 2 combined but can't hate on the guy for going to the big leagues essentially

[Mr. Scot]

Congrats to him.

[Captain Morgan]

was hoping he would replace Newton

[manu4t]

Good luck to him - I always thought he did a pretty good job with his reporting.

[pantherphan96]

not surprised. much better than person or newton. 

[uncfan888]

Time for one of us to take his spot since we'd be better than person or newton

[Jeremy Igo]

Told him last year he was too good for this small market. Not shocked. Happy for him

Jones is a good dude. Congrats to him.

The Observer is a cesspool at this point.

[Ricky Spanish]

Good for him. 

I'm still salty about that terrible piece he wrote about ECU from college, but 70-41 so it's all good now.

was only a matter of time.  good for him.
