Around SBN: Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire Vow To Fit In With Lin

WR Options: Matt Jones anyone?

The player rep for free agent Matt Jones says the NFL has notified him that Jones will not be suspended for violating a court-mandated drug program in March.
The agent says Jones only has to pay a $50,000 fine. If so, Jones should find work quickly. He's easily the best young receiver on the market. "He caught 65 passes in 12 games last year for the Jaguars and he was their No. 1 receiver," agent Dave Butz pointed out. "If he wasn't hurt one game and didn't have the three-game suspension, he may have caught 80 to 90 balls."

 

Well, what about it?  I know we have all this great, young, "potential", but Jones is a QB that transitioned to WR, and as a WR, this is only his 5th year.  He is huge and fast, measuring 6-6 and about 220lbs.  At his Combine, he weighed in at 242 pounds and made scouts take notice by ripping off a blistering 4.41 in the 40, the fastest ever by a quarterback at the combine. He also showed off a nice 39.5" vertical during his workout.  I'd be curious to know what he can run it in now, since he is about 20+ pounds lighter.

 

Could he be another one of those "acorns" Ireland keeps looking for?  Or is he just another nut?

I really liked him coming out of college.

I thought the Jaguars had a great pick in him.

I don’t think they really used him like he should have been.

Worth a look.

can he play defense, maybe we can nickname him crash jones

ex qbs. all jim jensen wannabe’s, sure let’s bring him in see how his chemistry jell’s (no pun intened) with the rest of the team!

by wild zion beaver on May 27, 2009 7:50 AM EDT up reply actions  

i tend to agree

i thought he was gonna tear it up – big guy, all that speed (some of his 40 times were in the high 4.3s). I always wondered about his play on the Jags… wondered if it just had to do with the “3yds and a cloud of dust” Del Rio mentality that kept him from seeing some big numbers.

If the guy can get serious about staying away from drugs and alcohol, I think he could be a starting caliber, possibly elite WR in the league.
IMO
