Matt Jones released from the Jaguars
The Jaguars have released the former first-round pick.
Jones never really panned out in Jacksonville after being selected in the first round in 2005. A converted quarterback out of Arkansas, Jones was released Saturday from jail in Fayetteville after serving nearly a week-long sentence for violating his plea agreement on a drug charge.
The former Arkansas Razorback was charged in Fayetteville with cocaine possession in July. He was later suspended for the last three games of the 2008 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
In the plea agreement reached in October, Jones was ordered to participate in NFL-sponsored substance-abuse counseling and undergo random drug testing through the end of the football season.
The Jaguars picked Jones in the first round of the NFL draft in 2005. Before his suspension last season, Jones was having the best year of his career, with 65 catches for 761 yards and two touchdowns.

Bob,
He only played well because he was hi as a kite...What a waste!
Could you help me. Never eat more than you can lift. Help me! Could you help me find sites on the: Vacuum cleaner buying guide. I found only this - bissell Vacuum cleaners. Consider the height and the weight of the vacuum cleaner, before buying it. To make this possible, vacuum cleaners come with various specialized attachments, brushes, tools and extension wards. Thank :mad: Murphy from Laos.
