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."

Absolutely.

yes! I'm curious to see who lands him.

JakeT. · May 27, 2009

We'll take him on the Niners. Him and Crabtree to go along with Morgan and others would give us an actual passing game possibly.

not only is matt jones trouble. but last year he only had 2 touchdowns and 40 of his 64 or 65 balls caught were against the texans, broncos, lions, bengals and browns. to me, he doesn't show up in any games that mean anything. until proven otherwise, he won't be anything but a 3rd WR who can catch the occasional jump ball because of his height. don't get me wrong, the potential is there, he just hasn't shown any of it to me yet.

tons of potential but still havent seen anything yet from him, imo worth a gamble for teams in need of recievers, would like to see him end up at the vikes
