Former first-round pick Matt Jones, a free agent receiver who was released by the Jaguars in March, has been notified he will not be suspended as the result of his violation of a court-mandated drug program, his agent said. Jones was informed by the NFL last week that he will be fined $50,000 but not [...]
The Jaguars today finally made the right decision, as they waived troubled receiver Matt Jones. The move means they part ways with the former first-rounder just a few days after his latest arrest.

It looks as if WR Matt Jones is going to get off rather light from his arrest on cocaine possession back on July 10th. Prosecutor John Threet said his office reached an agreement with Jones on Tuesday to send the case to drug court instead of in the regular criminal system, where he could [...]
