"In the NFL, one team's trash is often another team's treasure.

That has been the case with veteran tailback Julius Jones, who was tossed out by the Seattle Seahawks last month before finding new life with the Saints.

Jones, 29, has provided a great spark for New Orleans' injury-riddled backfield in a part-time role, highlighted by his 54-yard run at the start of last week's 34-3 rout at Carolina.

And this week, Jones admitted that he'll be a little extra amped to face the Seahawks on Sunday at the Superdome and show them up close what they're missing.

"They know (what they're missing)," said Jones, who led the Seahawks in rushing the past two seasons with 698 yards in 2008 and 663 in '09 before being phased out this summer. "There's a couple people up there that know what I can do, and those people were sad to see me go. But for the other ones, I definitely plan on showing them what I can do, what I have been doing -- and we'll leave it at that."

Jones insisted that he doesn't have "any ill feelings" toward anyone in Seattle -- that he understood he might get replaced when the team overhauled its front office and coaching staff this offseason, bringing in Pete Carroll to run the show.

He was disappointed when he lost his starting job late in training camp, then when he was released after four weeks when the Seahawks traded for veteran tailback Marshawn Lynch. But the former Dallas Cowboys standout said he's happy with how things worked out, even though he knows his role might decrease now that Saints tailback Reggie Bush is returning from a broken fibula."
