Is Matt Jones worth a flier?

[top dawg]

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 would sign him.

[Dpantherman]

no

[SorthNarolina]

nooooooooooooo sir

[OneBadassCat]

Same sort of skill set as Jarrett except he actually has some speed.

[rayzor]

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.

Man hell no let's stop ALWAYS looking to turn trash into something it works for us sometimes but dammmmm the answer is out there TJ...- we all know it leave this bum where he's at please.

Based on a workout report a while back,WR Matt Jones doesn't have his old speed.

That in addition to his prior drug problems,means there is zero chance we would be interested in obtaining him.

[magnus]

a flier as in a single sheet of paper that's disposable? Then maybe he's worth that.

[Varking]

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.

I would say its worth a shot, what would we have to lose? If he doesn't work out then, cut him... Also wouldnt mind seeing if Micheal Clayton could come in and be effective.

[PantherFanOne]

I would like to see the Panthers sign another potential upgraded #2 wide receiver,just don't believe it would be someone like Matt Jones. Just saying.

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.

Exactly, but that never stopped the Front Office in the past.
