Newsday: Jets, Cowboys could pursure Matt Jones

[ajk23az]

Jets, Cowboys might have interest in Matt Jones
Former Jaguars receiver Matt Jones, who was released earlier this week after spending nearly a week in prison for a probation violation, could draw interest from the Jets and Cowboys, league sources have indicated.

What has to happen before any team signs Jones is for the NFL to decide whether he faces additional sanctions for his probation violation. Jones was suspended three games last year after being arrested in a cocaine possession incident.

Jones is a bit of risk, what with his background, but he is a viable alternative at receiver. We'll keep you posted.

Valley Ranch doesn't need to turn into a Miami club again, lets please keep all dope sniffers out of the locker room.

We don't need Matt Jones taking lines off RJ's playbook.

Just say NO!

 

[dbair1967]

its just because of the Jerry/Arkansas thing.

I cant imagine we have any interest in this guy at all.

Plus, he's going to get suspended, I doubt anybody will sign him.

Little upside, some baggage...I'd pass personally! We have enough projects @ WR already! If we're going to bring in another wideout I'd rather have Torry; someone who could solidify and add some quality to the position instead of yet another converted QB!!

 

[CosmicCowboy]

NO.....:bang2:

 

[Duane]

He's lazy, likes drugs and isn't a very good WR. Please pass Jerry.

I agree with everything except for the part that nobody will sign him.

SOMEBODY will..

 

[Woods]

IMO, JJ will not sign M Jones.

JJ made it clear on several occasions that when he takes a punt on players who are out of the league (or out of favor), if they are involved in taking/dealing drugs/alcohol, he does not want to get involved.

The guys JJ has taken a chance on (as of late), Tank Johnson, PacMan Jones, TO never had serious (or any) issues with taking/dealing drugs and alcoholism.

You forgot to mention, only if they are criminals or High priced or both will the Cowboys consider them. OR if somehow there is a connection to Wade Phillips, such as Wade's cousins, uncles, yardmans, sisters, boyfriend is now a free agent. Cowboys may be interested.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

People read these things and get all worked up.


Read closer.

The guy is speculating that the cowboys COULD have interest in this guy.

I see nothing that says the Cowboys DO have interest in this guy.

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Oh Good Lord....

 

[DEZBRYANT x88x]

just because we're drawing intrest doesnt mean were going to sign him, i think jerry has learned his lesson.

He should miss the season. Football should be the furthest thing from his mind.

Excellent points, I doubt he plays here
