Is Matt Jones worth a flier?


top dawg

Recommended Posts

The FO probably doesn't want to pay for Housh, esp. with his diva-like personna. Antonio Bryant has a bad knee (and possibly a bad attitude), and Matt Jones is a recovering addict who has some skills. Perhaps we should sign the guy at the league minimum and dump him at the first sign of trouble. Do you think he's worth a roster spot at the cost of someone else's opportunity? Or do we roll with what we got? Knowing our FO, we will roll on.

i always liked him for some reason but he never lived up to his potential even before the drug problems showed up.

if he's sober then i'd take a flier on him but he's too big of a risk. we could use that spot on something that has a little more potential to be around for a while.

As a Jaguars fan I got to watch him on a regular basis and he isn't worth it. He doesn't have the same skill set as DJ either. DJ has little speed but good hands. Matt Jones had nice speed with crappy hands. He was supposed to be a red zone threat with his size for us and the only time he was a threat was at the end of games or halves when teams were playing prevent.

Why do people go through the bargain bins filled with bad knees, bad attitudes, and rap sheets? It's not worth the effort. Let our young guys work. We have our WR corp.

1. Smitty - Duh

2. Jarrett - Not much money invested but lots of time. Whats one more season?

3. AE - Is not going anywhere.

4. Brandon Lefell - High pick, high expectations.

5. David Gettis - Worth the risk. Cheap.

6. Charly Martin - Special teams

There. No need to add someone that will hinder the development of our youth.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
