I agree with Home of Legends, would not have been all that enthused about Jones a few weeks back, but these receivers are pitiful. They need to do something.

you won't get flamed for your idea as much as for the fact that someone asked this same question not more than 18 hours ago

Agree with Ogletree needing playing time, but not entirely sure he should replace Hurd. Maybe Austin?

Who knows. Unfortunately we probably won't see Ogletree this year barring any injury to Hurd or Austin.

We might as well bring him in for a workout, he cant be any worse than the scrub WRs we currently have.

You guys realize how bad the WR core is when we are actually discussing signing freaking Matt Jones.:mad:

No, the WR corps is not bad, it's a bunch of knee-jerk fans.:banghead:

I am definitely not against Matt Jones, but he is not the field stretcher this team desperately needs.

Babe Laufenberg says that our WRs cannot get any seperation at all.

No offense, but I think he knows a little more about quality WR play then you do.

This is Jerry Jones with the Dallas Cowboys, not wanting to leave any stone unturned I was wondering if Matt would like to come over for a try out, today if possible................

We need something I dont know if this is it, or if Ogeltree is it, but we need something, RW aint it, and Felix can't stay on the field long enough for him to be it, so find us something Jerry.............:bang2:

Tell Matt we only need him to learn one route right now, the long post at full out speed...... we have other wr's that can handle everything else............

Matt Jones is fast as hell...and i'm with the guy who said learn one route right now...I think he could burn it 2 or 3 times with one route. He'll sign with us for next to nothing, so what's the harm?

He doesn't know the offense so he wouldn't be able to help for a while. So why take up a roster space? And who do you cut to sign him?

This is an honest question.

How much faster is Matt Jones than what we have now?

I honestly know almost nothing about the guy except what I have heard on here.

What's so great about Matt Jones, surely there's bound to be another undrafted free agent we could bring in, right?

He was a first rounder by Jacksonville who had about 800 yards on 65 catches last year and was their best receiver(not saying much.

He was the starting quarterback at Arkansas, yes Arkansas, but wasn't really very highly regarded at that position.

He proceeded to run a 4.3 at the NFL combine and all 32 teams proceeded to go ape **** over him cause he is 6 foot 6. He was a 1st rounder.

He kinda sucks, but kinda not. Kinda a mixed bag, he is still learning but maybe his time has passed him by. I think he's worth nabbing and maybe developing. More so than some of the guys we've had for a billion years.
