Jaguars Release Troubled WR Matt Jones

Posted on March 16, 2009 by James W

The Jacksonville Jaguars released former first round wide receiver Matt Jones after he was arrested for violating parole stemming from his 2008 drug related arrest.  Jones failed a drug and alcohol screening last week after drinking beer during a round of golf.

Jones struggled through most of his career but posted his best season to date catching 65 passes for 761 yards and two touchdowns.  Jones could find his way to another roster based on talent, however a suspension from the league is very likely.
