Matt Jones to Dallas??

From an NBC sports article on 5 possible trades for the draft. Sorry if repost and hope I'm not violating any rules. Not new on site but fairly new as a poster:

4. Matt Jones to the Cowboys
Jones' name has not been mentioned as a trade candidate lately, although reports in January indicated that most offensive staffers wanted to dump him. Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio has defended Jones in the past, but the team has sufficient depth after acquiring Jerry Porter and Troy Williamson to make a deal.
Dallas owner Jerry Jones wants to add some “Wow” to his offense, so look for the Cowboys to get in the mix for Roy Williams. If that doesn’t work, Matt Jones is a nice fallback plan. He has flashed big-play ability as a pro, but isn’t consistent. Jerry Jones can try to rehabilitate one of his treasured Arkansas Razorbacks in exchange for a mid-to-late round draft pick.

sigh...

How is he a nice fall back plan?

 

[SDogo]

blah, if he was not from Arkansas this moron would not of even considered Dallas.

 

[AmishCowboy]

Weren't we interested in Him when he came out?, and what's the Asking price?, A 4th or 5th maybe?.

 

[Hostile]

More like a panic button plan.

Im so sick of hearing how Jerry is just coo coo for cocoa puffs over these Arkansas players.

hes got long arms so when the team does that trust game where you "fall back" and let people catch you, he will be able to handle it.

True.

Stupid of me too overlook that.




On the bright side, at least he doesn't run a 4.58 40 like Stanback.

funny how if there is a trace back to ol arkansas, jerry jones automatically becomes the front runner

 

[speedkilz88]

I could see them take him off their hands for a 6th or 7th. It takes a while for wrs to adjust to the game and this guy was a qb in college. He's got good hands and speeds and is a big target and the Cowboys have a heck of a good wr coach.

 

[Dallasfan2010]

Jerry just get Pacman, and Roy. For the sake of my sanity, and you just got your big Razorback, he is Ken Hamlin

 

[jterrell]

How many Razorbacks have been linked to us and how many have we actually ever signed?

Jerry is probably a harsher critic of Razorbacks than anyone because he knows what a pro caliber college player should do to help a team win.

It is tiresome to see Jerry linked to every possible ex-Arkie just because.... plain lazy reporting imho.

FWIW, Matt Jones is probably a WCO type WR. A big, fast guy who can make plays after the catch but doesn't necessarily have great hands or run the greatest routes. I think he'd fit well in Philly but also as a replacement WR for some of these teams looking to move star WRs such as Detroit. He is an upside candidate for sure.

I wouldn't hate adding him but I just don't think he is the kind of guy we are targeting and to call him a wow player is just silly.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Matt Jones a WOW guy? Not really.

We already have one project at WR. Not sure there is roster space for another.

WoW what a reach at #21 in the first.

 

[tomson75]

It's like these guys have a quick reference guide for each team. Ours says:

"Jerry loves him some Razorbacks"

"Felix Jones"

"Darren McFadden"

and then a few things that dont' relate to Arkansas...but not many.

Actually, we already have several: Stanback, Austin, and Hurd

Him? You mean, like, God? Can He catch well or does He have bad hands? What kind of routes does He run? I might be interested in Him for a late round pick. Lord knows we could use some WR depth!


:laugh2:

IMO we have 3 with Hurd, Austin and Stanback. To me Matt Jones would do for us what Crayton already does. Not a "WoW" player and if you're going out and getting a cruddy Troy Williamson that's kind of an indictment on Jones IMO, especially considering he was a #1 pick a couple years ago.
