Jacksonville releases WR Matt Jones
-
Not saying he isn't figuring it out how to get it done on the field... But I wonder with the off field stuff if mankok would bring him regardless of price... just my opinion though...

this guy seems like he is going to be a problem for his whole career. the only way i would give him a contract is if it was incentive based. if he gets arrested, we keep money. if he goes to jail then he gives us back his bonuses. stuff like that. anyone who gives him a regular contract is a moron. for that reason, i believe he will end up an oakland raider with a huge contract.

jones' physical talent has never been in question, but his football aptitude and decision making have. with mankok emphasizing character, it's highly doubtful jones will be a brown, though hie physical ability is intriguing.
when you add in the fact that he's been playing WR for only a few years and would just now be learning the nuances of running routes, i think he'd be a good signing if we can get him on the cheap, but a franchise with a WR who just killed someone can't afford the PR hit of signing a WR who got busted for coke possession.

Exactly what does a white WR have to do to not have message board people slobber all over him? "Well, I know he has two catches in the last three years, and there was that whole genocide thing, but I think I read somewhere that he only helped put people on the trains, so it's not like he did anything really bad. Besides, every team needs a possession receiver."

This guy really started coming into his own last year. I have watched his career pretty closely. He is a playmaker. He really is not a trouble maker..He had the coke thing then turned it around. I am not going to crucify the guy for screwing up by having a few beers on the golf course. He will likely get a 4 game suspension. But he is 6'5 runs like an elk and can really make plays. We could get a guy coming into his prime. I may get slammed cuz I like this guy.. but that's my opinion and I'm sticking too it. I think he could have been even better if Jax had a real QB to get him the ball. 11.7 per catch average and 10 catches over 20 yards last year.. Signimup

Ever hear of Character ? A couple of "Questionable" Guys can mean disaster to a Team.

What exactly does him being white have to do with anything? Nothing. He started to show some signs of being a good receiver for the Jags last year and seemed to be past his drug issues. He was let go for drinking not another issue with cocaine. The Browns being in desperate need for a 2nd receiver should give this guy a look at the least. He can/should be had on the cheap and fill a badly needed spot for us. We cannot expect a rookie receiver to come in and do anything his first year. We need some one with some experience.

I can't totally disagree with you on this. But I have two questions. What kind of guy is he besides having the obvious addictive thing going on? Is he an asshole? I haven't read much about him.
The second question is the big one...What is the NFL going to do with him? He may not get to play for awhile after Goodell gets done with him.

They aren't anything alike except for the fact they're both white dudes.6'5" and possesion receiver. Sounds similar.

6'5" and possesion receiver. Sounds similar.
But it isn't. Jones is a guy with immense potential who's been held back by inconsistent hands, a poor work ethic, and an affinity for white powder. Jurevicius is a slow, sure-handed receiver who's a very good influence in the locker room.
Jones actually had a very good year last year, but he's too lazy and legally-challenged to take a risk on.
