Bengals sign WR Matt Jones

One year deal for 700k.

Matt Jones? TO? Pacman?


Really?

ill take them all. What does the bengals have to lose? Matt JOnes is a 6'6 athlete who once ran the 40 in sub 4.3 times. His contract is pocket change. If he gets in trouble again, the bengals simply cut him. Very similar to the LJ signing. Im loving it.

I've already addressed the ads in another thread. Besides, you love them.

I don't like the signing. I feel they will expect him to play well, and then won't draft any WRs and will be in a worse place next year.

Good signing. For 700K? can't beat that.

Not to mention with the exception of Dez Bryant isn't that many game changers in the draft this year at WR. Low risk high reward

They would be dumb not to draft a young WR. However who is there to draft!? There is only a couple i could think of that id really want.

On Lances blog, someone noted that Matt Jones had a horrible workout, yet still was signed. I don't see the Bengals doing much this year in FA, and they probably should just get a WR in the first round, and perhaps even one in the 4th.

In passed drafts I would agree with you on drafting a wr in 1st round. Except this year we don't pick till around 20 i think. The only real game changing receiver that would be worth the 1st round money would be Dez Bryant. I'm not sure what the plans are with Chase Coffman, but a tightend would be more realistic for the 1st round. Guy from Oklahoma Gresham and Florida Hernandez would be key now that Matt jones will be able to spread the field. Bad workout or not the kid still runs sub 4.3 and will stretch the defense.
