Reported to ESPN: Bucs working out Matt Jones today. Titans, Cowboys, Dolphins, Bears & Jets have been looking @ Jones in recent weeks.

The former Arkansas quarterback who converted to receiver once ran a 4.37 in the 40, though his speed never translated into a consistent deep threat.

Among the teams contemplating Jones are the Cowboys, Dolphins, Jets and Bears, sources said.

Won't be surprised if something happens this week. Gives the player two weeks to get used to the offense now that we have a BYE. Also we will need to replace Cobbs on the roster.

I was thinking that Roth will take the roster spot....

Roth will take the Roster spot if he is not injured, Plus we could cut a guy like Quentin Moses who is non exsistant on the field.

Matt Jones better be a completely new man if we even think about bringing him here.

Well, reports are that he had a tremendous workout with the Titans and I think he has learned. Plus I dont think he failed any drug test, Im not sure. It was more of being with the wrong people with the wrong stuff at the wrong time. Correct me if Im wrong.

boy, if the Wildcat didn't already have enough options...it could get quite ridiculous if we had a receiver who could line up under center, too.

He had been considered "immature" and "lazy" while in JAX. Don't know much about his off the field issues, but I know he screwed up a second time earlier this year.

You think they really go after him? I know Pat Turner hasn't shown up, but hopefully he can ste up and be our red zone target and we can use that roster spot somewhere else.

Thanks for the sig, Gish!

hes the only FA I thought we would look at because of his size.

The only way I would go near Jones is for the league minimum. He's shown absolutely nothing thus far in his NFL career that would lead me to believe he's anything special at wide receiver ... and he's already had 4 years to prove himself.

Yeah, after the cocaine bust he got into a jam about driving with a below the legal limit Blood Alcohol level.

I'll take him. He actually had a decent season last year with Jacksonville.

If we sign him I have confidence Ireland and BP feel he is done screwing up...with that said he makes the WC that much more effective..now we can bring back that QB aspect of it without actually having to show our hand early in the play..MJ would be lined up as the single WR and could go out on a route block or shift to QB and throw like a QB...could be very exciting indeed.
