This makes no sense…

At first, I thought it was MARK Jones, and I thought the article would be about naming him the returner or giving him an extension or something, and that was bad enough.

Then I clicked the link, realized it was MATT Jones, the cokehead former Jaguar, and then I had a cow.

We’re gonna try him at QB

heh heh

Who’s the odd man out? Edison? Hawkins?

We were burned big time with players with off the field issues … Pac-Man did them in on that. I really think Shefter’s wrong again. At least I hope anyway.

surely wouldn’t want to be shown flat wrong and derided again.

As far as Jones goes, I remember him burning the Titans some and being a pretty good possession receiver. Reading up on his drug offenses, it doesn’t sound that bad at this point. He has one bust from coke found in a car he was in, and a probation violation due to alcohol. I mean, it’s not good, two screw-ups back to back, but it doesn’t appear to be at the Pacman level.

I’d hope that Hawkins would be the one teetering on the edge here, if it happens. He’s had plenty of time and not shown much at all.

why don’t we re-sign Pacman to be our returner and backup corner ? I’m sure he’d fit the role well.

Look, yea we’d probably be fine with starting gage and britt, along with all the options at tight end and splitting out cj. But i like this move, Jones doesn’t have to be a starter, but he is good enough to contribute, and a pretty solid route runner. We’re not losing anything here by taking a chance on a guy that’s proven he’s a reliable receiver.

lirl when you hear ‘possession’ receiver and Matt Jones in the same sentence???? hahaha

We should be worried Nate Washington is further away from playing than we hope than anything else.

Me personally, I’m all for it. He’s hasn’t really done anything that should dismiss a 2nd chance. I don’t want to be relying on Dominique Edison and Lavelle Hawkins to convert my 3rd downs. I think Edison has a bright future, just don’t wanna see him in big spots right now. I don’t see how he could be ready this soon. May just as well be Tyrone Calico if that’s the case. At least Jones has some real NFL experience.

Grammar is great in that 1st sentence.

…if it’s true. You give Jones a chance, if he screws up he’s gone and you’re really not out much. He could if he’s in shape, be an upgrade over Hawkins for sure.

this is just crazy talk from an agent wanting to generate interest for his client.

it might be true that Jones is coming in for a physical but that does not mean the titans are signing him. how many players have come in and didn’t sign.

Also, i’d rather see Britt get more playing time, who I would pick over Jones anytime, than giving some to a washed up WR.

…you can easily see that this is a non-story. He’s had (crappy) discussions with a lot of teams, including the Titans, and what he’s really trying to do here is to force some team (Not the Titans) to hurry up and sign Jones because otherwise the Titans WILL sign him.

The only REAL story here is that this now makes at least twice that Schefter has allowed himself to be used by some WR’s agent as a vehicle for marketing his client.

are that they are bringing in 3 guys (Jones, Jerry Porter and someone else). I will have trouble continuing to run this blog if they sign Porter.

Can you imagine the wildcat with VY, CJ, LenDale, Matt Jones, Pacman and Jerry Porter on the field???? BEST WILDCAT EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Unstoppable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111
