It's Official....the Bengals sign WR Matt Jones

Well....it's official, at 12:05 today the Cincinnati Bengals sign troubled wide receiver Matt Jones to a 1-year contract worth roughly $700,000.

Matt isn't the only "Jones" to be courted by the Bengals this week, the team also had Pacman Jones in for a visit as well.

Personally, I'm not thrilled with this signing because I'm not sure Matt brings a lot to this organization other than a couple run-ins with the law to add to our already sterling reputation around the league. At least Pacman and T.O. bring SOMETHING to the organization....a little TALENT. If we are going to take a chance on a player with a troubled past, shouldn't we make sure they can contribute on the field? I'm not sure Matt can, or is willing to put in the effort, to fill a void in our offense.

If there is one positive to come from this signing, it's that Bob and I have found yet another possible poster child of "OneManCrimeWave." There is certainly no shortage of possible candidates.
