When we saw that Jags receiver Matt Jones had been busted for possession of a controlled substance, we assumed that it was marijuana. Especially since the guy is so, you know, mellow.
As it turns out, Jones (allegedly) had cocaine.
While making the arrest, police had to draw their guns on Jones, who didn’t comply with an instruction to put his hands where the police could see them. (Then again, maybe the police didn’t realize that those two bricks were Jones’ hands . . . rim shot.)
Jones has been charged with felony drug possession. That’s seven points for the Jags in Turd Watch II.
It’ll be interesting to see whether the Jags decide based on this incident that it’s time to set him free. And, if they do, it’ll be interesting to see whether this former Arkansas Razorback (who apparently knows a thing or two about razor blades) might land on a team owned by another former Razorback.

Look, anything Matt Jones does to be more like Jimmy Smith is probably not a bad thing.

He was a waste of a 1st round pick anyways. No wonder he was always around the endzone and the white lines…

Wow, Florio, you nailed it on the head. Jones was already struggling compared to the other recievers on that team, now this. He probably will get cut. I completely forgot he used to play for Jerry Jones’ college team. What are the odds he’s on the Cowboys come September?

This dude was on his last NFL legs anyway. I doubt Del Rio is that desperate to keep him around especially if Williamson shows them something in training camp.

This is horrible and I can’t believe something like this would happen…but it’s called a “sting” not a “rim shot.”
The Phins will welcome him with open arms. And he won’t have any temptation down there.
If he does go to the Cowboys, he and Adam can star in their own reality tv show about partying all night called “Keeping Up With the Joneses.”

The shocking part isn’t that Matt Jones does drugs. The shocking part is that he owns a razor.

*chuckles at the meatheads that make the jump Florio implies*
Check the history of Dallas — in the time that Jerry has owned the Cowboys how many Razorbacks have been drafted/signed by Dallas?
Most here seem to think that Jerry signs/drafts Razorbacks at every opportunity. He doesn’t. The count is 2, including Felix Jones.
As far as Matt Jones, he’s radioactive and, to be honest, he isn’t as good as the young recievers already in Dallas, so why would they sign Matt Jones?

Take it easy on him. He deserves another shot somewhere else. The only things that separate him from Cris Carter are 118 TDs, a highly confusing interpretation of the term “fashion sense” and an overall lack of desire to reach his top speed or have his feet leave the ground.

“Matt Jones won’t be among the top 10 players selected in the April 23-24 draft, but I will venture to say that he’ll play in more Pro Bowls than almost any of those guys.
And I will laugh, knowing I told you so.”

Can the Jags cut Jones or do they have to keep him or a certain time so he can get the help he needs due to union rules? If Im not mistaken, the Jags can’t cut him right away and can not avoid the turd points.
So much for the racists that post its only black athletes that get on the turd list.

This arrest has nothing to do with Michael Irvin, Adam Jones, Michael Vick, or any other African American player’s name you choose to lump in to soften the sting.
