Not forgetting Burleigh who will qualify in the summer and who I think will be important as the older head amongst our backs.

If he's not good enough for Glasgow why should he be good enough for us.
I wonder if this move is to accommodate Jones.
Suspect he'll be looked after better by the SRU than an English or French employer.
It'll maybe come out one day.

Well, he clearly is good enough for Glasgow.

Even if that is the case they are title contenders and Edinburgh are barely ECC qualification contenders? He is a significant upgrade in quality in the centres over the current options.
This was the first pinch point Glasgow faced on contract renewals, several of their big name backs were due renewals. Hogg got his early, Dunbar is absolutely vital to them and Horne is a valuable squad member as he can play 10 or 12. Speculating here but I imagine Bennett was due/asking for a decent pay rise too so something had to give. This will only be Jones second pro contract so it is possible he was cheaper than Bennett.
