Jacksonville Jags wide receiver Matt Jones was arrested on felony drug charges after police found him cutting up cocaine with a credit card in his car today. Police said they searched the vehicle and found a plastic bag filled with a white substance that tested positive for cocaine and a jar with possible marijuana residue. Matt was released on $2,500 bond but his arraignment on a charge of felony possession of a controlled substance was set for August 11.
Matt was already in head coach Jack Del Rio’s doghouse most of last season, but that was for his on-field behavior. This is obviously not going to help the relationship and will most certainly bring an end to his days in Jacksonville. Of course, there is already early speculation that because Matt went to the University of Arkansas, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones (fellow Razorback alum) will take interest once Matt’s (likely) forthcoming suspension has been served. I disagree. Even though the Cowboys need more depth at receiver, Jerry’s not running a rehab. Which is where Matt needs to be.
